   You can put a modem on each serial port. The RT can have 2 serial port
   boards each with 4 ports that's 8 ports plus the 2 on the mother
   board. Also the RT may have 2 ethernet boards.

   A modem is just a different terminal to Unix. So you can "safely" run
   as many modems as terminals.

Asynchronous modems, such as your Hayes compatibles can be connected
to each RS-232 serial port available on your RT. If the ethernet 
board requires a special ethernet modem, I believe only one is needed.
