Has anybody set up LAT ports such that user on a terminal server is always
connected to a fixed LTAxx device when a connection is requested?

LOCAL> DEF PORT ?? DEDICATED SPECIAL_PORT LATCP> CREATE SERVICE SPECIAL_PORT/ID="DEDICATED PORT SERVICE" LATCP> CREATE PORT LTAXXX /DEDICATED LATCP> SET PORT LTAXXX /DEDICATED /SERV=SPECIAL_PORT Now the catch.... there must be a channel assiged to the LTA device for the connection to be connected. You can't have a user log in through it, or use the AUTO-LOGIN facility for the port. What you <<CAN>> do is write an application that runs as a detached (or through some other terminal) process and assignes a channel to that port and watches for a connection. Once a connection is made, the program then can work with the terminal. I've gotten this to work as a daily bulletin type thing, but the main drawback is you've got to keep a process out there watching the port. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Robert Eden 817-897-0491 EDEN@fallout.uucp Commanche Peak Steam Electric Station Glen Rose, TX ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ politicese for a nuke plant -------------------------------------------------------------------------
