[Coco] Ebay chuckle of the day

[Rob Rosenbrock]

Could be. It looked just like the ones we used in the stores, and I was thinking they were 1200.

From the picture of the bottom, it looks like the cat number begins '26-117' and I can't make out the last number.

The cat numbers in that range:
26-1170 Telephone Interface 1 149
26-1171 Telephone Interface 2 199
26-1172 Direct Connect Modem 1 149
26-1173 Direct Connect Modem 2 249,199
26-1174 Acoustic Coupler AC-3 149
26-1175 DC Modem 1 99
26-1176 DC 2212 Modem 399
26-1177 DCM 5  129
26-1178 DCM 3  59
26-1179 AC-4  119

26-1173 is a Modem II at 300 baud. I presume that 26-1172 must be something around 110? I'd bet we're looking at either 26-1175 or 26-1176.
