 SL> NetComm SmartModems use a telephone cord with a piggy-back type

 SL> plug on the end which seems to perform exactly the same as a

 SL> standard (MODE 1) double adaptor except that it has, what

 SL> appears to be, a capacitor between pins 2 and 6.

 

 SL> Can anybody tell me what type of capacitor and what rating it is?

 

 PC> Now that's interesting, i'm currently using my series 3 E7 cable on my

 PC> M11F because it has the pass through plug on it, i'm using my M11F

 PC> lead on my USR because it was already there plugged in when i setup

 PC> the USR. Maybe i should go and plug the right leads into the right

 PC> modems.



It would be interesting to see if the modems' performance changed due to

different line cord.
