Is the just for Voice over Data type setups. Auto-dialers made by them have been around since the early 70's. These are still mostly found on IBM Sites. Their (VADIC) modems were the first real competition to the Bell 212A Dataphone setup. Seems that this must be just chip or technique cloning suits inside the general parameter of auto-dialing technology. Perhaps they have patented something Vadic overlooked and are laying a base. If so you should inform Racal- Vadic. Dave
