Through the proper channels, our German office was able to get a 1200
baud modem that had no problem speaking to our Racal-Vadics.  The
bigger problem was the poor quality of the phone lines.  

They (Germany) had been waiting over nine months to get the modem,
and it was evident within minutes that there was no way we could 
transfer large amounts of data.  It took a while to convince my
German associate of this.

Ya gotta love that there Bundespost!
