I used to have a Silent 700, no recollection of what sub-model it was.
It had an acoustic coupler, and had a D15 connector. A little research
turned up that the D15 carried BOTH RS232 compatible signals to/from the
terminal, AND RS232 compatible signals to/from the modem! There was a
jumper inside the machine that connected the two. By removing that
jumper, it was possible to plug in a jumper plug for "normal" operation,
or, with a homemade cable, I used the modem on a TRS-80, AND used the
terminal as a serial printer.
