The difference between a 103 and 113 modem is pretty minimal.  They both
use the same frequencies and modulating techniques, so one can
communicate perfectly well with the other.  The 103s can run in either
originate or answer mode, while a single 113 can be an originate-only
model or answer-only model, but not both.  As you might expect, a 113 is
cheaper than a 103.  As you might also expect, 103/113 compatible modems
from other than Western Electric are usually cheaper and more flexible,
but nowhere near as indestructable.
