While listening to Lewin Edwards Pete heard:Someone with an E5 please answer

G'day Lewin

 LE> I've just received an E5 modem with a fried resistor in the DAA.
 LE> I KNOW that is the only faulty component because the unit works
 LE> if I short the resistor out.

 LE> Does some VERY nice person want to take a look at their modem
 LE> for me and tell  me what value the resistor R56 is ? It's

You might find this resistor is only a sacrificial component to
protect the modem from power surges and as such an exact match isn't
required, though having said that you'd be better using the correct
value, BTW i had a Bit Blitzer 1234E that use to eat these.

 LE> Note : This is a SmartModem V.32 E5. It's in the older style

 LE> Also, does anyone know whether the 12000bps V.32turbo feature

 LE> explicitly ?

I think you had to explicitly enable it with ATB14 and when you did
you lost the lower speeds, ie 300, 1200 etc.
