3494 and RS6000 SP connection

[Tom Melton]

Is it possible to connect the control function of a 3494 robot using a
serial connection from an RS6000 SP silver wide node?  First IBM said it
was possible, now they are saying that the SP only supports the
token-ring or ethernet connection to the 3494 for control functions.

Anyone know for sure?  Anyone doing this?
