    Does anyone know of a way to obtain the physical terminal name of an
    interactive process from DCL? F$getjpi(pid,"TERMINAL") returns the
    virtual terminal (if there is one) which is not nearly as useful a piece
    of information.

F$GETDVI(F$GETJPI(pid,"TERMINAL"),"TT_PHYDEVNAM")

    I have also noticed that the accounting records also contain only the
    virtual terminals for jobs on ports where disconnect is available.
    Anyone know of a way to obtain this from accountng.dat??

The information is just not there to be gotten.  (Note the complexity, BTW;
the process may have been attached to any number of physical devices by the
time it terminates.  Do you want the device it was created on?  The one it
was on at the time of process deletion, if any?  (It might have been discon-
nected when it died!)
