Those prism 2000's were terrible... I was at Micronet when we were 
dishing them out.  Working in THD (Technical Help Dept) one of my 
tasks was testing those that came back as faulty... and there were 
LOTS of them did so...

I /think/ we'd bought the entire stock from Prism when they went 
bust.. I went to help clear out a storage warehouse somewhere near 
the docks where everything was palletted up, at one point.  Lots of 
interesting stuff; not just the various modems, from acoustic 
couplers upwards, but ROMEX cartridges (anybody remember them?) 
little robot kits, and all sorts of other goodies.  The modems all 
ended up at Herbal Hill for sending out - most of the rest of it 
ended up stored in the basements of the Prestel building, (Telephone 
House in Temple - and they were a place I wanted to wander about in, 
but couldn't - security!).  Prestel eventually moved out from there, 
but I wonder if BT still own it, and all the odd stuff is still 
lurking about under their feet...
