The 745, about 14 pounds, has a 300 baud accoustic coupler built in. costs about $1300 to buy, $65/month to lease. Called "silent" becuase xxxxx because the original models were -- print heads burned out so fast that TI added a fan, giving a "fairly quiet" 700. The 787 is a new one: 1200 baud internal modem, cost ~~ 2300. ANybody out there tried one yet? Execuport also makes terminals similar to the 745, and a few other brands are around. good luck finding rentals!
