To get the physical terminal name in DCL, simply use the following 
 single sommand line:

   $ XTERM=F$GETDVI(F$GETJPI("","TERMINAL"),"TT_PHYDEVNAM")

XTERM then contains the physical terminal name.

Unfortunately, ACCOUNTING only records the virtual terminal name
 ( as far as I am aware ) if virtual terminals are in use. This 
 is a real pain for accounting purposes and for identifying
 terminal use.
