AlphaStation 200 4/166 console Question

Greetings -

I've got an AlphaStation 200 4/166 (Digital UNIX v3.2C) currently set up
with a graphics console, as delivered.

What I'd like to accomplish is this - a serial console with a graphics
(X-window) terminal. Is it possible??

What I will be trying when I can get this machine scheduled for downtime
is as follows:

1) shutdown
2) >>>set console serial
3) attach 9-pin to 25-pin null modem cable from serial port #1 to
    serial console device
4) push the reset button
5) >>>boot

Will this enable the console on serial port #1 and leave the graphics
head as X display local:0?


TIA, summary pending responses.
