A lot of Unibus communication products use a KMC-11 to do low-level protocol
work.  This can be a bottleneck; one project said the KMC limited them to
1 Mbit/sec.  Is there anything faster out there that can do the same job?

Aside from direct replacement products, if any, is it possible to use, say, an
Avalon board to do communications processing?  (Avalon used to make a UNibus
board with an NS 32000 chip, which people used for troff, cc, etc.  They also
now make an 80386 board, though I'm not sure if it's Unibus or Qbus or both.)

Are there any other 68010 or fast Z80 or 80186 Unibus I/O processors out
there?
