[comp.unix.ultrix] Connecting to DECserver 100

I would like to communicate through a group of DECserver 100 ports from
Ultrix V2.0-1 running on a micro-Vax II. I have not been able to find
documentation indicating how a program initiates a connection to a
specific terminal server port but I know that lpc can do it. Does
anyone know how this is done? Have a sample?

As of 2.0, I think that only lpd had the undocumented code to handle
outgoing connections.  With 3.x you can use the lcp utility to set up
associations between server ports and LAT tty's you can later open for
outgoing conections.  I assume this all works with the DECserver 100's.

I don't know about the V2.0-1 manuals since I don't have that doc set
around anymore,
but the V3.0/3.1 manual "Guide to Ethernet Communications Servers" has
an example program for an LAT host initiated connection (reverse lat).  You
might check in /usr/examples/lat/dial.c to see if this was included in
the V2.0 software.
