I have one.  It is a  VA3400 compatible modem.  VA3400 is a 1200 baud
protocol promulgated by Racal Vadic in the early 1970s.  There are
many (myself among them) who think it is a better protocol than Bell
212A.

They do; however, work best on a fairly clean line.  The microphone
and speaker in your AJ1234 not new since as far as I know they have 
been out of production for at least seven years.

The last time I saw one for sale was at the Trenton Computer Faire
last year.  If memory serves it was tagged at $15.00.

hope this helps
