I read else where that this is not supported.  Well no one told our machines,
so they work just fine.  The config's for the DECserver, LATCP, and DECnet are
shown below.  The modem is setup to ignore modem signals.

If you're running VMS 5.2 or 5.3[-1], the NODRIVER is buggy, and should be
replaced with the 5.1 version.  The symptons are loss of line sync. and lots of
errors on the terminal device. I don't know if the problem is solved in 5.4.
