We are currently using the Multi-Tech 224ER rack mounted modems. They 
have a feature called 'baud adjust'. This allows us to have our Vax 
8650 ports set at 9600 baud and the modem serial port is also 9600.
The modem baud rate always adjusts to the originating modem. This way
users from 300 baud to 2400 baud with data compression  can call the
same number. The modem does buffering, flow control, etc. I've got
about 70+ of these on line. They are very reliable and flexible.
They also make a stand alone model. University cost is about $400.00.
