- Is this really true? Or is this only true if I manufacture and SELL
- modems for connection to the public switched network? If I
- make one device and it meets FCC specs, do I really have to register
- and type approve it? I am thinking this is like building my
- own computer....if I don't make it for sale, and it does not
- generate excessive RFI, I don't have to submit it for part 15
- testing and type approval.
-
- By the way, I have no desire to build my own modem, what with fast
- modems being so cheap these days.
