I only have negative information.  I tried the FCC Docket Information
section (202-632-7535) and asked for any docket concerning modems.
After about a ten minute wait, they said that thier database search
came up empty.

I then contacted the Common Carrier Office (202-632-6910).  The woman
I spoke to there said that they had nothing concerning modems in any
proposed Common Carrier Tariffs.
