DECassette questions

I just found a data casette system I'm trying to find info on and it 
uses the same cassette with the
2mm notch. The casette labeled as a DC-40FL.

The cassettes go into a tape machine made by MFE industries an MFE 2500.

The machine has 6 toggles: local copy, rewind, on line, binary, send, 
receive. A
rotary baud rate selector: 110,300, 1200, 2400 and several lights: 
online, binary, send, recieve

On the back there are, what appears are two serial port connections a 25 
pin male connector labeled
MODEM ans a 25 pin female, labeled TERMINAL.

I assume it can be used as a simple serial line tape machine???

I haven't been able to find any relevant info on the net!
