The TeleVideo 800A is a workstation, and as such you would have 
to use the fileserver (which ever one you have) to load a 
properly configured comm pgm to run a modem off of its RS-232 
port.  I think the 800A uses the TeleVideo 802 overlays for IMP 
and MEX.
   
You should also be able to configure your 800A as a terminal 
(dip switches), connect it to the terminal port on your 
fileserver, and then run a modem off of the CPU's RS-232 port.  
Of course the comm pgm. must be properly congigured here also.
