I'm using a P550 to boot up using the Serial console.  I have tried to use
the printer port and instead of it opening a session on that port, it opens
a DTR connection to the modem port.  I'm at work right now so I can't remember
if it actually boots up to the modem port.  I do remember my term. ready light
on my modem lighting up.  I'll test it when I get home.  I've tried a couple
different variables on this method, but I get the same results.
