Hi, All,
A friend of mine just returned a modem he got from me decades ago, a
Ventel MD212-plus. It's an early-1980s non-AT-command-set
autodialling modem. The settings are adjusted via a pair of 10-pin
DIP switches accessible from the back. I've checked the web and
bitsavers. So far, all I've found is some old Usenet articles and a
couple of pictures, but no manual or jumper guide.
One "feature" is that it lacks a modular jack to plug into the phone
system. Fortunately, my friend kept the proprietary DA15 cable. I've
never seen that choice of connectors on any other modem.
Does anyone have any Ventel docs?
Thanks,
