Having recently had some leased-line modems taken out by a nearly lightning
hit, I wouldn't let an integral modem near my Unibus.  I'm not altogether
happy that we have wires running all over the building, in fact.  At least
we're using Emulex CS11s so the wires don't run into the Unibus box itself.
(The CS11 puts all the per-line hardware, like line interfacing and UARTs,
out in the distribution panels.)
