If you want 20 sessions, and they are hooked to DZs, then you'd have
to have at least 3 DZs...

This is certainly true for a Unibus -11 or an emulation of one.
For completeness, in V7 Qbus support was not official yet (IIRC).
However that doesn't prevent V7 from running on Qbus processors such
as the 11/73. In which case a DZV or DZQ has only 4 lines/board, but
otherwise looks/acts very much like a DZ. [A DHV or DHQ has 8
lines/board.]
