Would someone out there in VAX land be kind enough to answer a question about
VMS virtual and real terminals?

That is, is it possible to add virtual terminals to a system which already has
real terminals, and have the two coexist?  That is, some users' interactive
processes would be based at real terminals, and others at virtual terminals.

If so, is there a system call which can be used by the properly privileged
user to create a virtual terminal?  Must the operating system be reconfigured
to allow the virtual terminals?  (Also, what VMS versions would allow this?)

Thanks very much.
