[You see this line.  That's because it starts in column one.]

	"I am interested in building a 1200 buad modem either from a
	kit or just from a design ... Any info on costs and
	difficulties of building such a modem, would also be
	apprecciated."

A big difficulty is that you aren't allowed to hook the modem to the
telephone network until it's been certified by the FCC.  This isn't
something that an individual does on a hobby project; it takes the
resources of a company that's designing modems for a profit.

If you do hook up your modem without permission, and it brings down
some of the network, the phone company will Own Your Soul.  You're
liable for the entire cost of repair, including labor, and may find
yourself brought up on criminal charges.
