I have two old ones (I'm not including Hayes-and-after in this):
- a Bunker-Ramo from 1967/8; discrete transistors and large, canned
filters;
electrical connection to tel network; about 19"*6"*10".
- an acoustic modem built in to a (!) teak box, late 60s or early 70s I
think, discrete transistor.
Haven't had a chance to play with them or figure out specs, they're in the
queue for reverse engineering at some time.
I have a cat modem. I also have a softmodem that one can load
a program into. I used it for a DSP project that did filtering and weather
fax decoding.

How about early modems, anyone collect them ?
No. Nobody does.
The only folks that actively collect modems are the RTTY (radio
Teletype) guys, and those modems are pretty alien to what we computer
guys know as modems.
I suppose I accumulate modems, simply because some I do not want
