There is an advertisement in the May '85 issue of Analog magazine
for something called a Q-Modem.  According to their advertising,
this is something which stacks up pretty well, compared with other
modems currently available for the Atari.  For US$150, you get a 300 Baud
modem, with "advanced" terminal software, modem handler, cables 
and interface.  It features tone dial, auto answer, audio monitor,
smart answer mode (?), and built-in help (presumably in the software).
For an extra US$79, there will be an upgrade available to 1200 baud
(I had to phone the company to find out about the extra cost).
The company is

Quantum Microsystems, Inc.
PO Box 179
Liverpool, NY
USA 13008
(315)-451-7747

Does anybody else know anything, good or bad, about this company,
their products, and/or this modem? I, for one, am amazed at the
possibility of getting a 1200 abud modem for only $230 (+canadian
exchange, +federal tax, +duty, +shipping cost; sigh).
Maybe I won't throw out my 800 right away, after all...
