Asynchronous Serial Communications?

» close window

The Question is:

 
Is it possible to obtain a PCI card that has either RS232 or RS422 sockets on
 that can be accessed on the Alpha running VMS as TTA ports ?
 
I am currently trying to obtain at least 4 ports of this type via an ES40. The
 two 9 pin d-types on the back of an ES40 are accessed as OPA0: and TTA0:   I
 need more TT ports than that for our application.
 
I cannot find one of these PCI cards anywhere on the Compaq Web site that is
 qualified for OpenVMS operating system. Please help.
 
My alternative may be a terminal server and LAT.

The Answer is :

 
  Via terminal server (IP or LAT) access obviously, via the PBXDA, and
  at least one third-party (Digi International) offers asynchronous
  PCI communications options.
