Dedicated LAT port characteristics

The Question is:

I have users dialing in to a Terminal Server (DS-700-8) and
I want to connect them to a specific LTA device so their
terminal characteristics get set correctly.  I have done the
following:

$MC LATCP CREATE SERVICE ECS
$MC LATCP CREATE PORT LTA11: /DEDICATED /NOLOG
$MC LATCP SET PORT LTA11: /SERVICE=ECS /NOLOG
$SET TERM/PERM/DEV=VT200/SPEED=9600/ALTYPEAHD/LINE LTA11:

On the DECServer I did:

CHANGE PORT 1 DEDICATED ECS DESTINATION LTA11

Everything looks right, but when someone logs into the
terminal server they are not connected to LTA11.  Am I going
about this the wrong way or is it impossible to do this?

The Answer is:

   Let the users log in normally, and issue the correct "SET TERMINAL" in
   SYLOGIN based on the contents of the value returned from the lexical
   f$getdvi("TT","TT_ACCPORNAM") -- this is the LAT server and port name.
