Well the "NASA" and "Property of US Government" stickers may mean it's

Is it the modem used after the link from Waikato -> Hawaii was upgraded from 9.6k? --- Patrick Jordan-Smith Network Operations Quicksilver Internet +64-9-916-0300 pjs(a)quicksilver.co.nz

Yup. One of the guys around here had it propping up his TV after deciding it just couldn't be thrown out. It's a 14k4 modem, I believe it's for leased line operation (haven't plugged it into a serial port to find out). After we powered it on we noticed the "110v" label on the back, maybe running it at 240v means it'll run at 28k8? :) It complains about "Carrier Not Detected" for some strange reason.
