Thanks to all which answered my question (now relizing it may have been
more stupid than I thought) relating to a modem conversion.  I suppose
if it were possible, manufactures would have done it in the first place.
Of course, this also answers why 300 baud units are so much cheaper.  I
did take the one unit apart and found it using a Exar FSK chip.

However, I did find out more than I knew before about modems, so all is
not lost due to my request.  OK, now if I decide to build a 1200+ modem
(why not just buy one? Because I like to build things for the fun of it)
who has a good inexpensive chip set (kinda like the one chip phones)
that doesn't take much glue to get up and running.  Again, I do not
really need a smart modem, since I am running only a dumb terminal.
