GB> What is unsafe about using a modem? Do you really think that a modem
GB> would get an FCC approval if it wasn't safe to use it?? I doubt it.

BG> Well you're wrong then, Grant.  FCC compliance for class B computing
BG> devices (modems) has absolutely NOTHING to do with electrical safety.

BG> In fact, Part 15 of the FCC regulations state that:

BG> 1.  The device may not cause harmful interference.

BG> 2.  The device must accept any interference received including

BG> interference that may cause undesired operations.

BG> The FCC rules are specifically designed to provide
BG> reasonable protection against RFI (Radio Frequency
BG> Interference) in residential installations.

Thats a different thing to FCC approval of modems tho. What you quoted
is FCC approval of say a computer, quite a separate approval process.
