- Subject: Digital PBX fries my modem
-
- I've been given the unenviable task of tracking down the truth (or
- fiction) regarding using a modem with some digital PBX's.
-
- Someone in the organization has alerted us to the fact that some Digital
- PBX's send too much current to a modem and effectivly fry it.
- Presumably, these Digital PBX's are located in hotels in Brazil, for
- example.
-
- I've never heard of such a thing, and tend to think that it may be an
- urban legend, but I thought I would draw upon your experiences. Do these
- KILLER PBX's exist? If so, what kind of equipment is required to
- counteract the effect of the KILLER PBX?
-
- Thank you for your comments.
