VAX/VMS V5.5-2 does not have the /APPLICATION qualifier to SET HOST so
outgoing RTERM connections are not possible from it.
I'd like to add my two cents. :)

I think that VAX/VMS V4.7 does first try with CTERM and then, upon receiving
no answer (i.e. receiving a disconnect with a "unrecognized object" reason),
it falls back to RTERM. Actually there is a noticeable delay while it does try
both protocols. Once connected, you can tell which protocol it's using because
if you hit CTRL/P you get a RTERM specific prompt that does not appear when
you are in a CTERM session. On the other hand, CTRL/Y works only with CTERM.
