PacComm and Siskin surplus
Twenty-five years ago, it was not uncommon to see Gwyn Reedy W1BEL(sk) of PacCom Inc or Phil Bridges G6DLJ of Siskin Electronics Ltd. promoting their amateur and commercial TNC and high-speed modem products == An amateur estate is being sold on eBay seller: c200fish Among the various PacCom/Siskin items are four PacCom Spirit-2 modems. I have no idea if the satellite modem is installed, since these were sold in various flavors/configurations.
I think Mark Hammond, N8MH was using the Spirit-2 for his ground station. I have one if the earlier Sprint-2 (sat version) at my quiet station.

Yep...I have 2--a Spirit-2 and Sprint-2 (the old name)! Love them for 9600 and 38k4...
Wish there were more birds to use them with...
