You might want to look into the Anvil Onboard (succsessor to the Stallion).
With flow control on 38k terminals are running flawlessly.  Using only
x-on/x-off at those speeds, some brands of terminals worked, others wouldn't.

Don't know you price contraints but if you find a hungry dealer you should be
able to get the Anvils for under $1000 for 12 ports.
