I called Telebit and suggested that they translate whatever firmware they
 have in the T1000 to the NeXT so it can act as a Trailblazer-Plus, but
 my advice thus far has fallen on deaf ears (maybe if others call and
 recommend it?).

Anyway, for those who don't know, the NeXT computer can theoretically act
 as a high speed modem (and a FAX machine and....) with a tiny bit of
 hardware glue to get to the phone lines.

If anyone knows of a company who is doing or wants help doing a modem for
 the NeXT, please drop me a note;  I'd be willing to help create such a
 piece of software.

P.S. -- Is there enough info. published about high-speed modem standards that
	 I'd have a shot writing this from scratch?  I know Telebit's stuff
	 is proprietary, but what about....(insert your favorite protocol).
