Re: RS232

Curtis,

  On that machine you could have up to 96 of 'em!  All of your
Communications Lines (such as the ECS line) are 'RS232 ports'.  IBM Just
calls em V.24 ports. Just be sure to use the IBM supplied cable to
attach to the system.  If you must add adaptors or extensions add them
to the end of the IBM Cable.  Without the IBM cable the system doesn't
know one is attached.

  Any V.35 port won't work due to physical interface differences.
