Actually, the man page mentions DECstation 2000 and 3100, not the
VAXstations.  But the programming interface is the same (DZ11-style).
The DZ11 cannot do higher speed than 9600, but the clone chips and
some of the devices (like DZQ11) can do higher.  The same 19800 
problem is in the VS31k DC367 chip as in the DC7085 version. They 
cannot do higher speeds though.

VAXen have used the dz driver ~forever and the pmax port used the dc
driver. This is an accident by history, it should be fixed.
