I am running XENIX not SCO UNIX but have been using the Arnet Smartport
for ages with really good luck (after I helped them debug the drivers :-)).
We have two Trailblazer+ modems on the board as well as a 2400 baud and
local terminals.  No problems.

Why do you want to run different baud rates?  One of the advantages of the
Telebits is that you can talk to the modem at one baud rate and let them
worry about what speed to talk to the outside world.  We run them at
19.2Kb.
