Has anyone successfully connected a Trailblazer modem to a
DECstation 3100, or even, a regular RS232-type modem?  The
documentation is not very clear on whether or not this can
be done -- it simply lists some DEC-specific modems all at
or under 2400 baud, and the guide for "Installing a modem"
is at the level of "Turn on modem.  Turn on computer.  See
lights flash.  Good Dick, good!"  I envision some sort  of 
RS-232 to "funky shaped phone jack" cable.  Is this avail-
able, and if so, where would I get one?

Thanks for any information...
