I have several Computone still in use.
What I can say:
They are Multiport card used mainly to hook several tty-devices to a
xenix/unix box.
Usually these cards have an external multiport (DB25) small box connected.
In latest version I thnk they used space-saving RJ's
Are you shure they are true RJ11? (or they are DEC RJ with side ?)

Am I sure they're RJ11, no. They're physically the same jack with six
live wires. But beyond that, how would I know???
Does Xenix see these when it loads or do I have to tell it?
(Xenix/at 2.2.1)
Do you if they are compatible/similar to anything that might recognise
the board and work it in today's UNIX world???

RJ-11 is four wires. Standard phone jack.

tell it?

Xenix definitely needs device drivers installed. Probably so does
SCO Unix. And the device drivers came with the board, not the OS.
Some Linux distributions will recognize it immediately, but even
then you're best off recompiling the kernel -- since there are a
lot of other things taking up kernel space that don't need to be
recognized. I like to start with a sparse kernel and add things.

I guess Sam's more exact. It has the rj-11 package or form factor. i
didn't know the different # of wires led to different names, as I've
seen 2,4 and 6 pair phone jacks based on the # of separate lines.
