The DECserver 300 provides a method to connect up to 16 asynchronous devices
such as terminals, serial printers and PCs, to one or more nodes (hosts)
on the Ethernet. The DECserver 300 uses 16 integral MMJs ( Modified Modular
Jacks with 6-wires) as the physical serial device interface. The MMJ is a 
modified version of the standard Western Electric modular phone plug
connection.
	The DECsu!erver 300 uses EIA-423 signalling, which is compatible
with DECconnect and EIA-232-D devices and supports DTR/DSR flow control and
power detection signals for local connections.
	Its features include:
* Twice the line density of the DEcserver 200 - 16 lines in the same size
						enclosure
* Twice the performance of the DECserver 200 - 16 lines operate simultaneously
						@19,200 bps
* ThinWire & Standard Ethernet Inerface
* EIA-232 & EIA-423 signalling compatible
