Gregg, In this instance I'm testing this on a physical Itanium box running the OpenVMS 8.4 field test :) I suppose my question can be generalised as this: How do I set up a LAT service to share a terminal port from a VMS system over LAT, in the same way as one would set up reverse LAT on a DECserver (i.e. create a service that connects to a specified physical port)? The steps I followed in this particular case are listed below.

This is what I tried: lcp:==$sys$system:latcp TELNET/CREATE B4BBS 23 1 lcp create port lta1337/application lcp set port lta1337/port=tna1 lcp create service b4bbs lcp set port lta1337: /service=b4bbs However when I connect to the service b4bbs I am not redirected to the TNA1 telnet connection, but just get the normal log in screen of the host I created the service on. Where am I going wrong here? Sampsa Hello! First things first, what are we running here? Also is it running physical or virtual? That is, did you install the chosen OS into SIMH/(that) or onto (that), where the phrase means what you chose. Please do me a favour, and list the steps you followed to create the contraption in question. Incidentally Sampsa there's nothing outside your flat today except all of London. ----- Gregg C Levine gregg.drwho8 at gmail.com "This signature fought the Time Wars, time and again."
