weird modems

Since you guys are bringing up some unusual stuff with modems, I thought of something else I have in storage... Got a pair of units that are designed to be used on a 4-wire (!) leased line, or something. There's no "smarts" in the modem portion of it at all, though there is a separate board in there (with a separate serial connector) that has a z80 on it to do some sort of diagnostics. They're 9600 baud, but since they're set up for a 4-wire connection I don't forsee me having any possible use for them. Was thinking about scrapping them out, as they're in cases that are quite nice, but I'll entertain offers to the contrary. :-) -- Member of the toughest, meanest, deadliest, most unrelenting -- and ablest -- form of life in this section of space, a critter that can be killed but can't be tamed. --Robert A.
