 I had a Telebit T3000, it seemed to only support some of the v
 standards, but had its own compression scheme. I remember hearing an
 odd modem handshake and seeing a full-speed connect from the only other
 BBSer with a Telebit modem...

The reason for the odd modem? I always ended up picking up cast-offs
from work. The only modem I paid for was the first modem I bought, a
hayes-compatible 1200 baud modem. I always had to dial in for work, so
work kept giving me cast-off modems to replace the crappy modem I had at
home.

Had I bought a modem, I would have gone all-in on a Courier.
