Talking of modems, a place I worked around '90 had racks full of modems for customer dial-in. What never occurred to me until I saw it was each one needed a phone line - half the back wall was covered with phone points!
Some years later a project was trying to do caller ID to computer. Simple idea, ridiculous number of issues. We found one modem that actually talked UK CLI of the dozens that claimed to. UK Cable spoke US CLI.
