They did. I used a Trailblazer myself back in the day. The concept of
super fast transfer in one direction with slow acks in the other was
amazing. I think they could also do Kermit acceleration (which was
pretty cool even with sliding windows).

Reliable 9600 baud over voice-grade POTS lines. They were very
remarkable devices for their time. I used it on my home Unix system
way back when for UUCP connections (for email and USENET) to a number
of local UUCP hubs. The training tones for it were pretty crazy
sounding, very unique.
IIRC the Trailblazer spoofed the UUCP 'g' protocol
which resulted in
higher throughput.
I feel old.
You and me both, brother.
