Yes, the HP-48SX makes a great "dumb terminal."  All it needs is someone
to write and post (hint hint) the code for it.  On the last page of the
I/O menu are the commands XMIT, STIME, SBRK and BUFLEN.  These are 
rudimentary commands that let you talk "plain ASCII" to any RS-232 device.

If you have the right convertor boxes, you can even talk to RS-485 and
RS-422 devices.
