I also don't believe that serial console ever worked properly on the
MV3100/10/10e/20/20e.  The machines boot okay, but you'll have to edit
your system files to allow in telnet/rlogin sessions as the root user.

An original message on this is buried somewhere in the past year of
port-vax archives.  I'll see if I can find the original.

That depends on whether he means MV3100/40's or VS3100/40's.  The
VAXstation 3100/40 is supported just like the VAXstation 3100/30 since
the 40 and 30 are identical except for the 40 having a larger case.
