    I used microcom AX/9624c's.  It took some playing around to
get them to work but they worked fairly well. (I can send the settings
I used to people who are interested.)  What kind of flow control 
are the modems dealing with?  xon xoff or cts ect?  Also what
are the VMS versions, machines and ports(dz,dmf,etc).  uVMS 4.3
has a bug where it has to be the CALLED side of a dynamic async 
decnet link(it doesn't correctly handle the escape codes sent be
the remote machine telling it to switch to ddcmp, it also didn't deal
with the manual switching to ddcmp).

As for general set up, remember decnet wants eightbit noparity.
A resonable test seems to be SET HOST/DTE ttyport; have the 
modem call the remote site; type LARGE text files; when you
can do that without corruption, then try and start decnet.
