- Bob Juge, in another Post about Couriers, gave this advice:
-
- Turn the speaker off (M0). If you hear *nothing* when the modem's answering
- and making calls, you have a daughterboard modem. The single board modems went
- to a mechanical relay that makes an audible click.

- That looks pretty straight forward. I have the single board type of Courier, and
- you definely hear the relay clicking whenever picking up or dropping the line.
