I think you can use DigiBoard PC/16i or PC/16e. It has 16 ports
with speed up to 115K. The model PC/16e is cheeper than other 
'cause it has only 64K buffer , other has 128K-512K.
The driver for 2.1.5, stable is work weel, Now I port it for
2.2, I send it to author (Serge A. Babkin <babkin@hq.icb.chel.su>)
He said me he'll send it to Bruce Evans. New version work very well.
I'm using PC/16e with 4 leased lines ( 28K ), 6 terminals (9600K) and
printer (9600K). All It work under 2.2-SNAP-141096.
