But the price was very right. Anyway, these devices are two 1200 baud modems, a Novation 4000 series 4202B and Ma Bell dataphone 1800. The Bell is actually two boxes, the Dataphone 1800, which has two DB25's on the back and says "P/O data set 202T type", and another box, the dataphone channel interface which has one of those multi- extension phone jobbies on the back and says "series 1 data mounting". My goal is to get one of these modems running as a normal 1200 baud modem. I would guess the Bell machine is auto-dial, or auto answer at least. I've no idea about the novation. I need information about these things. I would like basic functional specs, as well as (please, oh please) documentation so that I can bring these things up. If you've got docs, or know where I can get them (without a three month delay time), please let me know. I am willing to pay copying charges and postage for them. If you can help, let me know and I'll give you my US Mail address and my blessing. Thanks in advance, David PS: for those on both lists, sorry. This probably should even go to another list on modems, but I'm not sure if there is such a thing. Again, thanks. PPS: By the way, for those who are into "property of Bell" stuff, there is no such message anywhere, either inside or outside the boxes, on the PC board, or elsewhere. I figured that it wouldn't be wrong to have them this way.
