   RX2800 included serial port capability

   Customer is winding down use of their compufax setup; it currently runs   
   multiple modems on a DECserver 200.  They are dropping down to a single   
   POTS line and would like to retire the DS200.   
      
   I think, from the docs I've found, that the single serial port on an   
   RX2800 is usable as a general purpose port; it isn't OPA0, which is   
   provided via the iLO.   
      
   Is that correct?  If so then they can use it for one remaining faxmodem.   
     If not then we'll have to either spec a serial card for the server,   
   continue using the DS200, or find out what other DECservers are   
   supported by compufax (info request already sent to them); I know the   
   DECserver 700-8 modem control  units were not supported and did not work   
   reliably.   
      
   Thanks!
