There is conflicting information about what exactly the interface I have
which is fitted in a MicroVAX 3100 is called.  It looks most likely to be a
DSH32 or a DSH32-B which may amount to the same thing but it could also be
a DST32 which may also amount to the same thing...  Documentation suggests
that the synchronous interface part of a DSH32 (which for added confusion
is referred to as DSH32-S) is DSV11 compatible but limited to a maximum
of 19200 bps.

The modems I have (which were intended for use with 64 kbps lines attached
to Cisco routers) don't have jumpers for clock speeds lower than 48 kbps.

Peter.
