	 I don't recognize the info, but I'd bet that you have
a legendary Apple Cat...

	Very "powerful" modem...  But it's only 300 baud (up to like
1200 or 2400 talking to ANOTHER Apple Cat through special software called
Cat Fur). You could get a Bell 212 upgrade (1200 baud), but that's another
card...

	This thing did/does neat things though... You can/could make your
Apple into an answering machine, and there was software that made 
busy signals, ringing, Europea busy signals, etc...

	Pretty neat... I think Apple Cat owners are as protective and loyal
as Apple II owners in general.
