Well, I did wonder what those sync in and sync out lines were for. But how would one
use voice equipment on such a line? After all it still has a jack for that. Could
anyone point me to software that can use such a device?

I have recently acquired what looks like a modem.
It has the FCC
certification for a modem and has a jack for voice equipment 8 conductor
multi-line. But when connected to my VT-220 it does not act like a
modem. No response to Hayes commands won't even give me a error
message. It is a Line Miser DOV 640 by Gandalf Data Limited.
Mmmmm.... if it is a modem, there's about a 99% chance that it's a
synchronous modem designed for use over analog leased lines (read: 4-wire
dedicated private line, point-to-point).
Translation: Not Hayes-compatible, probably not even async compatible, and
most likely useless for dialup apps.
