Looking on ebay I see that there are a variety of products called
'DECserver'. So far they are all terminal servers. Is it safe to
assume this name was only used for terminal servers? Is there any
qualitative difference in functionality between the DB25 port style
DECservers and the RJ45 port style DECservers?

Some of the DB25 terminal servers have modem control. You can't do it with
an RJ-45.

Why? I have lots ox boxes that use RJ45 serial conectors that do
modem control. Or were you thinking MMJ with only 5 signals?

But you could pack more RJ-45 (or MMJ on other models) connectors
into less space than the equivalent number of DB25 connectors.
