Followup on allocating your own terminal:

I tried after reading your message to do an ALLOCATE TT: from a non-privileged
account and found it WORKS FOR DISCONNECTABLE TERMINALS.  I.e. if the
line is set /DISCONNECT and you do an ALLOCATE TT:  it says fine 
"VTA123 allocated".  This is great since the VTA only exists while you
are using it and you don't have a security problem.   Trying to allocate
the physical terminal fails as you said but that doesn't matter.

Solution:  Set your lines /DISCONNECT

(Note: this is done in SYSTARTUP.COM.  First do

  $ Run Sys$System:Sysgen
  Connect VTA0:	/Driver=TTDriver /NoAdapter
  Exit

  then do

  $ Set Term T???/Perm/Disconnect/....

  for each line.)
