Hello! For the work I do, (See website

for details), I need to find a gizmo that typically kept the company of the older slower speed modems during the heyday of the dialup line period. These devices were typically wired with modems for 1800 Baud to sometimes as slower as 600 Baud. Supposedly according to what I can remember the phone company insisted on their use to balance the line. They rapidly became obsolete about the time the 2400 Baud modem became a definite standard and were completely gone by the time the 9600 Baud devices were used.
Essentially I need to find a vendor in my area NYC plus Westchester Co, and CT and NJ who would want to sell me one or two of these devices, plus assorted power supplies and maybe a few other items.
And now the reason: Every few years a customer comes to me who wants me to study the behavior of his dialup service and suggests building a model of the line layout. Strange yes, but he's paying me for the hardware and such like.
