Sorry, but even though it has an Rs-232 port on it, it requires a host which
uses Uniscope protocol. This a unique to Unisys (old Sperry) systems and
requires either 1100 or OS/3 systems to communicate. It is a synchronous
protocol and will not run any async protocol. At least you have a WP for it so
it is good for something besides and anchor.
