Ian,

A Bell 202 is actually 1200 bps half duplex in a POTS configuration.  It
could only do full duplex in the 4 Wire Leased Line configuration.  Certain
4W versions were also capable of 1800 bps.

The 300 bps modem was either Bell 103 or CCITT V.21.

Incidentally, my first modem design was a Bell 202A, that was in late 1969.
After that there were many custom designs.  The last one was in 1990.

I'd be glad to share the information I have.  Exactly what Bell 202
information do you need?  The original 202 specs are somewhere in my
archives, but I must warn you.  The verbage will be tough to understand,
unless you are conversant in Bell speak.

Duane
