Looking for smart serial ports for Unix

I have SCO Unix 3.2, Telebit T2500 and Hayes 2400.  I am still looking
for smart or multiple serial ports board.   I have Arnet Smartport but
this has alot of problem getting modem to work on different baudrates.
Getty got locked up on every second or third calls.  Arnet Tech support
sounds rather gloomy and he suggests that I should run on same baudrate.
I have also tried in Xenix but it is still problem with gettydefs.
Both modems works fine with regular com port but I need four serial
ports.

I am looking at DigiBoard but I want to make sure this works well in
Telebit and Hayes 2400.  I would like to include gettydefs and setup in
both hardware and software (unix, getty, inittab etc).  It is very
frutrating.  I am totally deaf so I don't use voice phone at all.  I
have FAX machine but sending usenet mail is fine with me.

Remember that Xenix and SCO Unix are not exact the same on getty and
uucp.  Be sure you have experience with SCO Unix, NOT Xenix.

Thank in advance.

Willy
