Yes, the 3745 doen't really do TCP/IP. And our Multiprise/3000 doesn't have
serial ports except in the IBM section of the OS/2 psuedo-simulated
processor manager. Our MVS system USED to have an asynchronous dial-out port
on an even older 3725/3705.

I am still interested in system automation tools to tie these disparate
systems together. Our bosses have repeated rejected throwing out either the
dinosaurs or the PCs.

The modem server actually shares the serial port. Like on OS/2.
Communication is
via TCP/IP, like everything else in the Unix world.
