However, I'm not sure which Telebit it is. The Racal-Milgo documentation is dated June 1987. The Telebit "Packetized Ensemble Protocol Modem" documentation is dated: Firmware Release 3, October 1987. Here are my questions: Does anybody know if this is just an exterior repackaging, or has Racal-Milgo done anything special to the modem? Specifically, which Telebit is this? It will do: 300 bps Bell 103 1200 bps Bell 212A 1200 bps V.22 2400 bps V.22bis I would imagine the Firmware has been updated since then. What does it take to get it updated and can it be upgraded? Who is Racal-Milgo? I've heard of Racal-Vadic (sp?) but not -Milgo. If these guys still exist, are they known for their service or can I just skip them and go to Telebit (who is somebody I know better)? Finally, what is a fair market value for this modem?
