ISN <-> STARLAN connections

I have a small STARLAN network consisting of 7 3B2/600's and a 3B2/400. I'm
using the 3B2 NAU hardware with a single NEU. (1 MB net)

We also have an ISN at this location, and finding that we have a slim-c card,
tried to connect the two.

What I would really like to do is be able to get a terminal (login) session
on one of the 3B2's from an asynchronous (terminal) ISN endpoint. Is this 
possible?

The ISN administration manual says that it is possible to make a connection
"from an asynchronous ISN endpoint to a STARLAN endpoint." - if you use the
STARLAN Network Connection something-or-other. (I haven't got the manual
handy)

Has anyone out there in net-land ever tried to do this sort of thing before?
I thought that the ISN would expect me to define logical endpoints on the
STARLAN network, along with the service-request strings - ie: systema.serve 
and the service request code NLPS:000:001:1\N\c, such as is used by UUCP. 
I hoped that the slim-c would be intelligent enough to make a connection to
the logical endpoint (picking the correct one by means of some hunt-group-like
feature, and ask for the service by sending the service code for me. No such 
luck.

What *CAN* I do with this slim-c card?

Any help at all would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance,

-Vince
