  I still have a Modem IB (Radio Shack) that works.  I can't find anyone
(besides myself) who takes 300 baud anymore.  It's a direct connect modem;
that is, you still have to dial the telephone and flip the switch to
"orig" to call, or if someone calls you, you have to flip to "answer".  I
was wondering, does anyone still have a working acoustic modem?
