My previous requests for information worked so well, I have a
harder question for you.  I inherited a Northern Telecom modem without
docs or software.  The local NT 992-5000 number hasn't proved helpful
yet (they forwarded me to a "DMS-10" support line from which I'm awaiting
a callback but I don't think has anything to do with PC's).  So if
anyone has any info on this modem (like, what's its baud rate, how do
you access it (through COMx: perhaps?), etc.) I'd appreciate it.

On the top edge of the card is written:

   NT2R1501 REL 05 P0647263

On the bottom it says:

   M 94V-0 8821

There are no apparent jumpers or switches.  The only reason I believe
it's a modem is that it has two phone jacks on the rear, with diagrams
for a telephone and a telephone pole.

Thanks for any help!
