	I've used it for a long time. Here's my setup procedure:

$!	SETUP_DEDICATED_LAT_PORT.COM
$!	V1.0
$!+
$! ...e.g. for SLIP
$!
$!	P1	- VMS LAT Port name (e.g. LTA777:)
$!	P2	- Service name (e.g. SLIP)
$!-
$	save_ver = f$verify(0)
$	on error then goto exit
$	on control_y then goto exit
$	set on
$	latcp:==$latcp
$!
$	latport = P1 - ":" - "_" + ":"
$	service = P2
$	if service .eqs. ""
$	then
$		write sys$output -
"%SETUP_DEDICATED_LAT_PORT-F-NOSERVICE, no service specified"
$		goto exit
$	endif
$	if latport .eqs. ""
$	then
$		write sys$output -
"%SETUP_DEDICATED_LAT_PORT-F-NOLATPORT, no VMS LAT port name specified"
$		goto exit
$	endif
$!
$	set noon
$	if f$getdvi(latport,"EXISTS")
$	then
$		latcp delete port 'latport'
$	endif
$	latcp delete service 'service'
$	set on
$	latcp create service/application 'service'
$	latcp create port 'latport'/dedicated
$	latcp set port 'latport'/dedicated/service='service'
$	set terminal/perm 'latport'/nowrap/nottsync/nohostsync/nobroadcast -
		/noecho/noscope/eight/pasthru/altypeahd/notab/noescape
$ exit:
$!'f$verify(save_ver)'
