I have just started using my new UDS-212LP modem, and am posting my
comments, as promised.
For 1200 baud dial-in use, I think it's the best modem on the market
for the money.
It's about half the size and 1/3 the weight of a regular 212A
(minuscule next to the ugly GDC 212s).  It has a single "talk/data"
switch on the front, an "on-line" LED, and an "originate/answer"
switch on the back.  (The modem will NOT auto-answer, so it's not
useful to have it hooked to your computer; ie, it won't answer the
phone for you.)  There are only 3 connectors on the back:  a 25-pin
RS-232 "D" connector for the terminal, a modular RJ-11C plug for the
phone line, and another of these for the telephone set.  The unit fits
neatly under a standard desk phone, and the upper surface is molded to
fit the feet on the phone (so it won't slide off).  No transformer or
other power supply is needed:  the modem draws all its power (< 110 ma)
from the phone line.  The unit works at 1200 baud only, full-duplex,
and is compatible with the 1200-baud channel of the Bell 212A.
Mine worked right out of the box.  No trouble so far.
List price is $495.  Discounts ($445) are available.
Universal Data Systems (205) 837-8100.
