Example  command: $01T(cr) 
response: !0118245160(cr) The command 
requests the ADAM-5000/TCP sys- tem at address 
01h to send all existing I/O module numbers. The 
system at address 01h responds with I/O module 
numbers 18, 24, 51 and 60 in slots 0-3. This means 
that the ADAM-5000/TCP system contains an 
ADAM-5018,ADAM-5024, ADAM-5051 and 
ADAM-5060 in slots 0 thru 3.
