Electronics, called the "Pennywhistle"?

I have one, fortunately assembled by someone else, along with the
slightly faded "originate modem manual".
There is another party on this group that has one, but I don't know if
he wants to fess up.
So to answer the first question, yes, some of us do collect modems -
its just a more subdued kind of fascination with blinkenlights.
I also have one of those (Anderson-Jacobsen?) teak box modems, which
still works, though the foam padding is disintegrating, and there isn't
much to call at 110bps...
The modem I miss, and misplaced, was the Vadic 355, what we in junior
high considered the "cadillac" of direct-connect modems, in a day when
acoustic couplers were the norm.
