You're making me feel very old. I used a 7910 the other week..

Somewhere I still have some blank PCBs for the 'Maplin Modem' project. 
This was a 300 baud modem (CCITT tones) using the Motorola 14412 chip  
They couldn't get the demodulator section of said chip to work properly, 
so they added a 2211 or something.

I probably still have a 14412 in the spares box.
