-> Up til recently my later day modem experience has fortunately been
-> largely with USR Sportsters. A side from the good reliability and
-> support; the fact that when the modem goes on Line the modem Phone
-> socket is disconnected. This facilitates an almost 100% increase
-> in my cps throughput when I have the Line feed directly connected
-> from the Bell line terminal to the Line input socket of the USR
-> Sportster, and the rest of my phone system is connected to the
-> modem's Phone socket; thereby isolating all the noise signals away
-> from the susceptible to interference modem.
So what you're doing is bypassing the phone jack on the wall, and the
phone jack on the modem, and then soldering it to some part of them
modem?
