I have an unusual HPIL peripheral made by Firmware Specialists Inc.,
called the "MODEM 300 PLUS". It incorporates a 300B modem and a port
for a 92267A wand. No manuals, though. The modem part seems
to respond to the Hayes set (it answers OK if you send AT), but I have
not the slightest idea about how to tell it to read barcodes.
