  Hate to disagree, but...  The ad in BYTE (ok,ok, I got 3 free issues...
then I canceled...honest!) says:

   9600-38400 bps modem...$169

"NOW you can afford a _speedmodem_.  The _champ_ has a raw speed of
300-9600 bps and 4:1 data compression for throughput up to 38,400 bps."

Seems like it is a 9600 baud modem with compression.

Too bad it's only an IBM internal. :(
