NOTE: Multiple modems are required on a management station if you want to use
certain features simultaneously, such as monitoring server traps out-of-band while
using the Dell OpenManage Remote Assistant.
A US Robotics 28.8 or a compatible data/fax external modem is required for systems
using Windows NT 3.51 to manage a DRAC-equipped managed node with the
Remote Assistant and TCP/IP.
NOTE: For systems running Windows NT 4.0 using TCP/IP, any Hayes-compatible
modem with TAPI support can be used; however, Dell recommends using the US
Robotics 28.8 modem.
