I wonder if my modem may have been part of a Telequote installation.
I'm guessing: are you mentioning BR here in
relation to stock
exchanges - were they a major supplier for stock exchange data
services?
Oh yes--look up "Telequote". I think that CHM has a few bits as well.
A lot of caselaw was tied up in Telequote, but by the early 70s, nearly every stockbroker
had a TQ terminal on his desk. BR was one of the first companies I bought stock in--the
future was very clear to me at the time.
I think most of the server gear for Telequote was IBM S/360 stuff, but I'm not
certain my memory is accurate.
Having a Telequote terminal would be akin to having a SABRE airline reservation terminal
from the 60s.
