[Description of data going out to one pak going to both on his L2 system]

As with the 300bps modem pack drivers (/m1 and /m2), /t2 and /t3 cannot be
used at the same time.  Why?  They both use the ACIApak driver under L2, so
any data that goes out to either one is run through that driver.  The only
difference between /t2 and /t3 is which slot of the MPI the RS-232 is in
(since 1 and 4 have the hardware support for interrupts and slots 2 and 3
do not).  This, unfortunately, is a silly oversight on the part of the Shack
and/or Microware.  [This information is taken from the old L1 update package
that was put out before the CC3 for various compatibility reasons.]
