The new Codex catalog (Fall/Winter 1984) has a 2400 bps
full duplex (over 2 wire dial lines) modem advertised. It
is also Bell 212 compatible (and apparently senses 212
protocol and automatically switches to that.)
It comes in two flavors:
Model 2231 $995
Model 2232 (with auto call unit)$1195
The address of Codex is 20 Cabot Blvd. Mansfield, MA
02048 (800)446-6336.

Several manufacturers now make 2400 baud modems for the dial up network. NEC has a 300/1200/2400 baud modem with auto dialer (Hayes style) for $1090 list. Rixon has a 1200/2400 with auto dial for $1300 and they have a 300/1200/2400 on the way for even less money. Concord has a 1200/2400 but I don't know the price and I don't know if it also does 300. We will be testing the NEC at UCSD on a backbone news link as soon as we get some. It looks like it will be a winner. Rixon will announce their newest product at Comdex in November. Western Scientific distributes for both Rixon and NEC. I expect we will post some results on the net as soon as we have some. John Cornelius
