Dial-in (Text Mode) to a Remote Device

This example shows a modem connected to an SLC device port, and a Sun server connected to another SLC device port. You can configure the modem for text mode dial-in, so a remote user can dial into the modem using a terminal emulation program and access the Sun server. (HyperTerminal™, which comes with the Microsoft® Windows™ operating system, is an example of a terminal emulation program.)
