Recently someone gave me an old DEC modem to use with my Rainbow.  It is a
DEC DF112-AA 1200 baud modem.  It appears not to be an autodial modem, rather
it seems to require an attached phone to dial.  There is a row of LEDs and a
row of buttons along the front.

Is there anyone familiar with this modem who can tell me what the buttons
along the front do?  The buttons are labeled as follows:
"LL  ST  RL  DL  HS  Data/Talk"
Obviously the HS switches from 300 to 1200 baud and the Data/Talk does 
just that.  But can anyone tell me what the others do?

Additionally, the LEDs are labeled:
"SD RD CD TR MR OH HS TM"
I know the SD, RD, CD, OH, and HS, but can anyone tell me what the others
are?

I also discovered that ctrl-C toggles from Talk to Data.  Can anyone tell
me if there are any other keyboard commands the modem accepts?

Thanks very much.
