I did figure out that you can call the manufacturer and tell them you want
to experiment with XX chip or chipset, and they will send you some in the
mail for free :-)

ewwww. We have many 7910 and 7911 chips still in use in
our MAN system at work.

I built my modem with an XR2206/XR2211 chip set on a
pair of 2inch sq
experimenter boards....the whole thing cost less than
$5 to build... it ran
off the internal power of the computer. A couple of
years later I upgraded
and built a modem with an AMD-7910 chip.
