I'm interested in the experiences of anyone who is familiar with any unibus interfaces to high-speed (19.2Kbaud to 1Mbaud) point to point serial communications lines. I'm especially interested in anything anyone has done over fiber optics cables, but want to hear about twisted copper pair too. Has anyone had much experience with using ABLE VMZs at 19.2Kbaud or DEC DMR-11s? What else is available? How reliable is it? What software is available? What's the cost? I run 4.2bsd on vaxes in 6 scattered buildings on campus and want to improve our 4.2bsd network communications speeds. We currently run the network over twisted pair between VMZs at 9600 baud (can't get 19.2Kbaud to work right).
