For those of you that have dial up asynchrous modems, there is
a relatively unknown product available.  It is called an accelerator.
It does three very useful things.
1. It huffman encodes all transmissions to increase transmission speed.
2. It does error checking and correction.
3. It does speed conversion.
It costs about $1000 dollars(you need one at each end).  And is made by 
a company named Telebyte.  We have two of them and love them.  It makes
remote demos possible.  Not only can you go through pbx's, if someone
picks up the phone you don't get junk on the screen(if they hang it up
quick enough so that the modems don't drop carrier, you will notice
this only as a slowing down of transmission.  
By the way I don't sell them but if I looked it up I might be able
to find the name of our local(Southern California) distributor.
