This appears to be the Prometheus modem sold under the JDR house name.
I've had a Prometheus modem for several years and it has worked
well and reliably. My only complaint is the speaker is so soft that
most of the time it is useless. JDR is a reputable mail order
company that has been around for a long time. It was one of
the biggest advertisters in BYTE magazine when that magazine first
started. That's eternity in this business.
