It certainly can.

Create a port with the comand

latcp -A -p /dev/lat/myport -Hdecserver -Vdecserver

and choose a program to connect to /dev/lat/myport. minicom and microcom work just fine. If the port is queued then add -Q to the end of that command.

Of course, you'll have to set up the service on the DECserver first.
