Does anyone have experience with a ComData T212A 300/1200 baud
modem? (The thing was built back in 1979.) I'm trying to get
it working for a friend who wants a home terminal without the
need for speed.
There is a row of lights on the front, reading:
MB TR MR SD RD HS MC ?M
(? = it's been rubbed off)
and a row of switches that reads:
AL ST RDL DL HS
The back has a male DB25 for the phone line (!) and a DB25 for
the RS232. The only documentation I have is a sticker on the
bottom explaining (for the designers only, it seems) the settings
of an internal dip switch that I don't want to mess with.
If there are any clues on how to use the thing, please respond
via e-mail. Also, if you have one in a closet, let me know and
I'll forward any interesting replies to you.
