Yes. It will have to be registered with the system as a connection option
though. There's probably some documented or undocumented API for doing so.

The Ser3 line you're talking about needs to have a serial line driver chip on
it. The LTC1323 is what was used in the Newton but something more readily
available such as a MAX232 should work fine.
