Uh, I forgot to mention that our trash dumpster contains outmoded equipment
that tends to function.  Functioning VT52s have surfaced overnight, to be
snatched away by equipment-hungry techies.  300 baud acoustic modems have been
liberated, and worked!  The DF3 is a 1200 baud modem (I hear), that got
replaced by a chain of 2400baud modems for our campus network.

Let me rephrase my request:  Does anybody have any reference materials on
interfacing the Digital DF3 1200 baud modem through an RS232 port?

At least, somebody rescued a Graphics Tablet from the Heap!  Check out your
local trash for the latest in yesterdays hardware! :)
