We recently purchased an acoustic coupler modem from COM1 Data Communication
Corp (Carlsbad, CA 92008, (619) 431-5606).  This is a pocket size modem
with a small acoustic coupler interface.  The unit we have also has a line
interface, in case a RJ-11 phone is available.  It talks to the computer
via RS-232.  The modem supports 300/1200/2400/VideoTex/MNP4/MNP5 (relevant
stds are: Bell 102, 103, CCITT V22, V22bis and V23).  I haven't tried them
out yet, but you may want to call COM 1 and get more info/literature.
