The ISP where I worked bought wall-mounted wire shelves and routed the
serial cable through the shelf to stably hold the modems vertically in
place and apart from each other. Worked pretty well. The open shelving
let air move up past them keeping them cool and offered plenty of tie
points for cable management.
