Mr. Townson,

I have a follow up questions to the one I just sent in.  I think the
question is easy enough that you can probably answer it directly.  I
have heard that there are lineman's handsets with a 'data' feature.
That is, the handset has the demodulator part of a modem built into
it.  I'd like to make references to these in a footnote.  I was
wondering if they really exist, and who makes them?  I'd like to
contact the company and get the specs.
 
Thanks in advance,

[Moderator's Note: I don't know the answer. There are a few mail order
catalogs around with test equipment in them. Probably one of these
would have what you are looking for. Anyone know the catalog names and
ordering addresses?   PT]
