According to the manuals, this is a trivial operation.  In practice, I have
yet to manage to get lcp to swallow anything but single-service
specifications.  I'd like to have BOTH the telnet gateway and normal LAT
terminal service available.

Has anyone figured it out?  I've tried some subtle variations on the
procedures given in the manuals to absolutely no avail.
