I have a Best Products Smart One modem that refuses to go back
on-hook, even across power cycling.  The problem appears to be in the
switchhook relay, since tapping it sometimes causes it to work for one
call.  The problem is, I can't find a replacement for it.  I'm not
sure of the brand, but here are its markings:

     AIC 88420
     SD1A05AWJ

The "AIC" is in larger letters than the other characters.

If anyone could tell me where I might get another one of these beasts,
or its equivalent, I'd be eternally grateful, since the rest of the
modem still works fine.  (BTW, if you're looking for a dirt cheap
Hayes-compatible non-MNP 2400bps modem, I'd recommend this one.  Its
sibling still works flawlessly, after several months of 24-hour
operation.)

Thanks,

-Ed
