- Hi if you are in Australia and are having problems using your modem.
-
- If you get dropout after som many minutes or a network game of DOOM wont
- last any more than about 5-10 minutes before it locks up then make sure
- YOU DO NOT HAVE A TOUCHFONE 200 PLUGGED IN while you're trying to
- communicate.
-
- They draw a current from the line every few seconds and the interferance
- causes the modem all sorts of problems.
-
- It has cost much money in finding this out the hard way.
-
- Hope I have helped someone
