We have a quote from DEC on a Vax 11/730 package with RL02/RA80 (IDC).
Has anybody out there used one of these things yet?  Any idea how well
they work?  Not only that but has anybody drivers for 4.1bsd for ANY
of its devices - the RL02, the RA80 and the DMF32.  The price for the
package looks quite good.  Anybody out there got any idea what's so great
about the DMF32?  The Able dh/dm board puts 16 lines in the same space
as the DMF32 puts 8 - and the dh/dm gives modem control on all lines rather
than just 2.  Mind you you don't get the sync line or the lp/dr11, but if
what you want is terminal ports, is there any advantage?
