- At a ham fest, recently, I bought a UDS201C modem for a couple of Dollars.
- I am just curious about it before I salvage it for parts. It appears to be
- a 300 baud modem which uses some other standard than Bell 103. When I
- connected it to my serial port and hooked a telephone in parolell with the
- output, the tones sounded very strange. It looks like it might have been
- very expensive, in its day, but its day has long passed.
- It is a square metal box with four status LED'S in front plus a
- function knob. One of the positions puts the modem in loopback. The front
- pannel also has the legend, "Direct Connect." Inside are two boards, a
- large top board which appears to be the modem plus a smaller bottom board
- which is mostly power supply and telephone interface. Please let me know
- if I am about to salvage a jewel or, as I suspect, I have a nice chassis box
- in which to put something else?
