This is a full AUTO-DIAL/FULL duplex 212A modem (direct connect) It also (If i remember correctly) derives power from the phone line, so is much easier to use/locate since you don't need an a/c outlet. Anyway, we have ordered 6 of them for work, and after talking with several sales reps and some techinical folks, they all say the same thing, they are full hayes smartmodem compatible. Looks like a very good deal to me. These modems are available from JADE in LA for about $359 ($328 for 6 or more) but I found them for $319 from IMAGE COMPUTER (619) 436-8317. I guess once we get them I can say a bit more about them, but I myself am going to buy one for me sometime next week. -rich (jazzy@aerospace)

A friend of mine just purchased one of the oldest modems I have
ever seen at a recent computer festival. It was made by ANDERSON JACOBSON
INC, in sunnyvale california. The problem is that now he wishes to use this
to link up with the Vax 11/780 here at St. Joes. University. What I was hoping
is that someone out there has some manuals or documentation on the thing.
The stats as far as I know are:
Anderson Jacobson Inc.
Sunnyvale California
ADAC - 1200
power: 115 vac
60 Hz
1/4 A.
Serial # 0375,01
If anyone has any information about it, please mail me.
Thanks Alot in Advance
