Here is the third version of my modem survey. I think I got about
12-15 additional responses since I spoke to you last but am
not carefully counting. Business has picked up of late and there
may be a fourth version.
       The modems surveyed are 1200 baud jobs that **send break**.
For this reason the Anchor Automation 1200 baud is not counted.
