1200-Bps Modems

   I've purchased a terminal (an Ann-Arbor Ambassador) for use at home.
I'll use it with Rand's computers, since I don't have any home system.
To do this I must have a modem, of course.  Rand has Racal-Vadic triple
modems (Bell 103, Bell 212, & Vadic 3400 protocols), and I refuse to use
any speed below 1200 bps while connected to any Rand machine, but I want
the ability to connect to other systems at 300 bps.
   Now I'm considering purchase of either Racal-Vadic's VA3451 directly-
connecting triple modem ($900), or their VA3413 acoustic-coupled dual modem
(Bell 103 & VA3400 protocols, $895) which can also be connected the telephone
line through a data access arrangement (more $$$).

   Does anybody have suggestions for other equipment to consider?  Or might
somebody have compiled modem information and made it available on line some-
where?  Please reply to me directly (Nomdenet @ Rand-UNIX) and not to the
list.
