I'm not familiar with all the possible modem variations one might find in a 33, but
AIUI the modem for the 33 at the standard 110 bps was Bell 101 standard.
When I got an ASR33 with a built-in dataset (from the Dayton Hamfest,
in the 80s), I had much the same quandry. At the time, my best
solution was to call up a local CompuServe number. I got a login
prompt and called it good.
That said, I'd be a little surprised if that trick still worked.
