# Datatronics Discovery 1200P Modem

One of the main uses for my Z88 is a portable terminal. I thought that it would be nice to have a modem which is as small and light and as portable as the Z88.

In the last year or so a new category of modem has emerged. They are called pocket modems because they are small enough to put in your pocket.
