I have a client who uses a Blue Box very occasionally (e.g. when their 
Comrex Access Portable is in use elsewhere and they have a second remote 
that needs to be done before the Access can come back to the station).

They have Comcast phone service at their studio.

The Blue Box usually works, if the box at the remote end is on a POTS 
line, but at 14400 bps (occasionally, 16800).
