I have a VAX 11/730 (yuk! I know) and want to call out on a TTY line using
a Gandolf 2400 baud modem. I use

          SET HOST/DTE TXA0

and I can connect and make my outgoing call, but... LOGIN also likes to get
in on the action. Why? I really don't know. And it seems that after I call in
using that same modem and then logout, LOGIN seems to want to chatter keeping
the line busy. Yep the terminal is set to HANGUP, so do you know what might be
happening?
                                                    Many thankx -- rod

We had a similar problem when we connected our VAX 11/750 to Net/One
(from Ungermann & Bass). Incoming channels worked fine but outgoing
we sometime noticed LOGIN and the Net/One command interpreter talk
together. 
The problem was corrected by setting the outgoing terminal port
to /NOTYPE_AHEAD. So all incoming messages are totally ignored unless
you allocate the port and set it to /TYPE_AHEAD. Deallocating the port
returns it into the /NOTYPE_AHEAD state.
