I just got a "gift" of a 30 Universal Data Systems Modems(?), made by Motorola. Why the question mark behind the modems? Well they look like modems and have all the other physical characteristics, but no manuals :-( ! Does anyone have any info on these critters. The model number is a 201B. Many thanks.

Motorola bought Universal Data Systems (Huntsville, AL) and Codex (Atlanta, I think) some years ago, and sort-of merged their product lines. Marc Kaufman (kaufman@Neon.stanford.edu)

The model > number is a 201B. Many thanks. Bill: The UDS 201B is a 2400bps half-duplex synchronous modem, suitable for leased-line or dial-up service with other 201-style equipment. (Some models will support full-duplex synchnonous service using 4-wire leased lines. All are half-duplex on dial-up lines.) They're usually used between IBM 3270-series cluster controllers and remote host system channel adaptors. Probably not very useful in the world of asynchronous full-duplex service we tend to use with Unix. Dave Levenson Voice: (201) 647 0900 Westmark, Inc.

Codex is based out of Mansfield, Massachusetts, while UDS is out of Huntsville Alabama. As far as I can tell, their product lines have not been merged. Obviously, there is some overlap in their prodcuts, and they sometimes work together on special projects, but they do have distinctive market identities and differences.
