I'm not certain, but I suspect that you may not have the right words in
SYCONFIG.COM. The VT device is odd in that it has no driver. It is just
an alternate entry point in the TTDRIVER. It is therefore important that
when it is connected, the following syntax is used:

CONNECT VTA0/NOADAPTER/DRIVER=TTDRIVER

There must be NO filespec in the /DRIVER qualifier. The TTDRIVER is already
in place. I suspect that you may have something like
/DRIVER=SYS$SYSTEM:TTDRIVER. This won't work because the TTDRVIER is already
loaded and. of course, can't be unloaded.
