FS: one "BSR 1207" external modem. New in
the (very old) box. I assume
it's 1200 baud. Runs on 120 vac. Can send pic to interested parties. $5
plus shipping (probably around $3-4, it's light) from US zip 65775.
Going from my modem doc archives, I think this modem was made by
Capetronic and is a model MD1207. I'm pretty sure you are correct about it
being 1200 baud. In fact, if you search down for 1207 in this list you'll
find it listed:

BSR (Birmingham Sound Reproducers) had remarketing division that in the
mid to late 1990s would buy low end and nearly obsolete computer upgrade
type parts (cdrom drives, sound cards, modems, etc) which would rebrand
them with their red BSR logo and then sell them via mail order out of
computer magazines (Computer Shopper, etc). I still have a proprietary
interface single speed caddy-type cdrom drive and 8-bit ISA
interface/sound card that someone I knew purchased from them in the 1990s
who was under the impression at the time that it was a modern
"Soundblaster" card and fast 4x cdrom drive. He got a few years use out of
it before it was replaced with a real Soundblaster and much faster IDE
interface cdrom drive.
