weird modems

Since you guys are bringing up some unusual stuff with modems,  I thought of 
something else I have in storage...

Got a pair of units that are designed to be used on a 4-wire (!) leased line,  
or something.  There's no "smarts" in the modem portion of it at all,  though 
there is a separate board in there (with a separate serial connector) that 
has a z80 on it to do some sort of diagnostics.  They're 9600 baud,  but 
since they're set up for a 4-wire connection I don't forsee me having any 
possible use for them.

Was thinking about scrapping them out,  as they're in cases that are quite 
nice,  but I'll entertain offers to the contrary.  :-)
