I posted this question to info-vax and was told that I might get some
useful information by posting it here as well. Here goes ...

I am trying to find out whether a VAX can handle a synchronous 4.8 Kbit
input line. We have either a VAX 750 running UNIX 4.2 BSD or a MicroVAX
II/GPX also running UNIX 4.2 BSD.  The line we will be using is a news
wire service, similar to the AP news wire and will plug into either a
DH or DZ panel (I think). We are trying to avoid using
an IBM PC as a dedicated head to pre-process the line and buffer the 
the data stream before passing data to the VAX. Anyone out there
have any useful information? Thanx.
