Found one in the CHM collection today.
It is a "Datel 30". There are a few mentions of it on the
web, mostly saying it was a light-duty device that broke a lot.

Billy asks:
Wasn't Datel one of the first to offer timeshare services?
Sort of a precursor to the Internet? I remember Datel
advertising on TV about making stock market transactions in
your office.
The model 33 was not the most popular device for that environment.
