- I know that disconnecting the phone sounds silly, but it really made
- my Sportster to recognise the ring. I've verified this also with two
- different phones which both work well.
-
- I read from some article in this newsgroup (just few hours ago)
- that Sportster would be very sensitive what comes to voltage level
- of the ring tone. If the level of the ring tone, provided by the line,
- is just above the specified minimum it could happen that the connected
- phone drops the voltage of the ring below the modem treshold. To be
- honest there exists another, connected, phone in my house which I
- suppose to be directly connected to same line (parallel to modem).
- How many parallel devices we may expect to connect to same line
- without problems ?
-
- I bought the modem from Canada, using it (illegally ?) today in
- The Netherlands and I don't know the specs. Neither have the
- equipments for measuring the line/modem/phone. Facing the facts,
- should I expect much respect for my blames ?
