I don't see why they say it wouldn't work. You'll probably need some sort of
rs-232 adapter in the node though. For what it's worth, having been connected
via rs232 (not from an SP) but now connected via ethernet, I won't go back. The
access speed and reliablility of ethernet over serial, not to mention distance
restrictions in serial land, is why.

Is it possible to connect the control function of a 3494 robot using a
serial connection from an RS6000 SP silver wide node? First IBM said it
was possible, now they are saying that the SP only supports the
token-ring or ethernet connection to the 3494 for control functions.
Anyone know for sure? Anyone doing this?
