We have tried several products and seem to get the best tech support
from Cleo.  They now have several products (because of a merger), and
the newer boards will do what you request.  They go into a comm controller
and act like they are a cluster controller.  This way you have access
from all the terminals on the system.  We are using the older Cleo
product called SyncCable and except for lack of file transfer works
great.  Using about 5 terminals from Xenix to connect to the mainframe
without a hitch.  The only problem we ran into was the xl@##$*@ PS/2
com port only being able to work up to 9600 baud reliably.  Limited
the overal performance a bit.
Hope this helps.
