The KMC11-B is a version of the KMC11-A containing more RAM (4K
vs. 1K).  It is available through DEC Computer Special Systems (CSS).
The DMR11 (not DMP11) is the correct replacement for the DMC11.  The
KMC11 is a totally separate peripheral that can be used to control
DZ11s or DMR11s or other communications devices; it can act as UNIBUS
master.

UNIX System III and later definitely support the KMC11 as an RJE
communications controller through software support for the "Virtual
Protocol Machine".  However, I wonder how you expect to use this
on a VAX-11/780 at BRL, since these are all Berkeley UNIX machines.
