I would work with the DZ device first. It has been tested and had its modem related

This line had me chuckling. DZ were notorious for being lousy at supporting modems
because they lacked all a number of the needed RS-232 modem control lines.
Its one of the many reasons why the UNIX community in those days, used to recommend using
Able Computer's DH/DM solution. Which was 16 serial lines with full modem control
on a single unibus board (and as described previously used DMA and had character
buffering), The Able DH's actually could run at faster speeds than the DEC one did.
