Ok. I did touch upon that option. I do not expect it to be hard from the 
simh perspective, but unless the OS that is running on the Pro is using 
the serial ports this way, it will not do you much good.

Outgoing serial ports might be easier, in that that was definitely 
supported. However, logging in to the machine over a serial port still 
depends on the question if the OS on the Pro allowed that.

However, if that would be useful depends on whether any software on the Pro would allow the usage of the serial ports in that way to log in.
