Since my memory isn't what it used to be (or what I remember it was), I had 
to look up the models to confirm my recollections.

A quick search found this:

         Actually incorrect. They were available with acoustic coupler 735 
& 745,  direct connect modem 743, RS-232 743/745, and 20ma. 743.

         Or if you can find one with 20ma (most will be 5 bit) then just 
put it in the loop.

Have fun,
