6498.0. "serial ports on 2100" by PTOSS1::BROWNROS () Thu Mar 20 1997 13:45

    I have a customer with an Alpha 2100.  They are using a graphics head
    as console.  They currently have a modem attached to the top serial
    port (TTA0) and want to connect a modem to the bottom serial port.
    OPA1 for the purpose of using DSNLink.  Can they do this? Are there any
    security problems with using a modem on this port, OPA1?  
    
    thanks,
    Ross

	MVBLAB::SABLE is the Sable (2000, 2100 series) notes conference. No, there should be no "unique" problems on OPA1: beyond the standard security warnings around having a modem (potentially) accessable for dial-in. Off the top, I don't know if this port has modem control -- if it doesn't, that means some custom modem settings and/or some custom cabling. And more security exposure.
