Correct...

Don't they

I haven't tried a dial-up connection (yet!) but the MaxSpeed card we use
has two
different entries in the inittab file. There are two different devices
for asynchronous
and synchronous (sp?) connections...which I found out the hard way! When
I would connect
a 3151 to a tty port which had both async and sync definitions, it would
give me all
kinds of garbage. So the 3151 uses a sync connection, while a modem
needs an async
connection (per MaxSpeed's docs...)

I believe that they can be used to connect to AIX connections...although
I'm not sure
originally what their purpose was...  =-)
