    hello,
    We have a P-570 with an HMC running 5.2.
    Can we call IN to the line that attaches to the modem that is used for the dial home feature ?
    I don't know if there is any tty or getty listening for calls on that port.

    Thank you.

    The serial port can be used for an outbound modem to call IBM Service. Allowing incoming calls on the port requires action at the HMC in the remote support menus, and it's designed to be on a per-call basis. Plus, getting a corporate security team to approve a modem on an HMC, especially for incoming calls, is virtually hopeless. If you are allowed to dial into your corporate network through a VPN, you should be able to open a WebSM session remotely assuming the open network of the HMC is accessible from the corporate intranet.
