Did you get it from 'Display Electronics'? They were advertising them at
the time. I bought mine at a radio rally, and were alsmost certainly the
end of the Display Electronics stock (I got some other things at the same
rally that had been advertised previously by the said company).
Incidentally, of my 2Bs as a 'GPO' badge on the front, the other has
'British Telecome'.
I had a 2B - bought from Display! GPO badge... I ran a BBS on it for
several years (the BBC micro sat on top of it!) until I got a
prototype nightingale auto-answer from Pace.
I remember being fascinated by the kit they had available, but it was
tricky enough getting the 2B home to Manchester.. I seem to recall I
persuading my mother to take me there on one of our periodic
"holidays" in London; I don't think either of us anticipated the size
of the thing!!

Brings back memories....the 2B was my first modem back in '85.
