[FW1] FWD:[FW1] Nokia 650 & Console modem?

["wcdma_umts" <wcdma_umts@FW1-NOSPAMsinaman.com>]

When you open the IP650, you will find the other COM ports. I am not sure whether it can be used. However, from the Voyager, you can Modem Configuration to allow other COM prots to login. You can make a cable to try.
