Yup. I can confirm that it can be done. I've done it with my HP 700LX (a
200LX with a docking port for a Nokia 2110).

I though the 200LX used an 8086, more specifically an Intel HORNET embedded
CPU?
BTW, the 700LX has a built in dumb-terminal program. Press the "&..."
button, then select "Data Comm" from the menu. It works. Just.

Just throwing my tuppence into the well...

Later.
