[comp.sys.dec] DS3100 Serial port speed?

sritacco@hpdml93.HP.COM (Steve Ritacco) (01/13/90)

I want to put a modem on a DECstation 3100, and I'm wondering about the
serial port speed.  Is it true that the limit is 9600?  It would be
pointless to get a 19.2K modem if the serial port is limited to 9600.

Thanks for the info.

See "man pm" for the dope on baud rates.  It appears that if the serial
port is being used as the "console" then the system is going to run it
at 9600 baud.  If it being used as an auxilliary port, the it appears
that other speeds can be used.
