SCO Xenix is distributed with support for several multi-port cards.  To
my knowledge the only one of these that is capable of daisy-chaining multiple
cards is the AMI LAMB card.  This is not a "smart card", so it may not be
suitable for your application if you plan to have many 9600 baud modems
connected to it.  But, for 1200/2400 baud use it should work fine.
