￿ 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.
