Er, I don't think the modem was invented in late
50's.
While U.S. Robotics did not invent the modem, they were one of the first
companies to sell them for home use. Here are some U.S. Robotics data sheets
that I got in February 1978.

I don't want to argue about who was first to sell a modem. I just think it
is neat that U.S. Robotics is still around and I have these data sheets

I've got a DC Hayes 300 baud S-100 modem. I think the date on it is 1977.

Thanks John! It's a neat site. I checked and I've got both the 80-103
and the Micromodem 100 (both S-100). I've got 3 more of the Hayes Stack
modems on the way as well. My collection so far is the Hayes 300, 1200,
2400, Optima 96, Transet 1000 and the Chronograph. I'm trying for a
complete collection of everything that used the "Stack" aluminum extrusion
case.
