- I'm getting my winter projects lined up, having just moved into a new
- apartment. One of the things I'm considering is an electronic line
- switch for my modem. I'd like to power it from the line.
-
- What are the limits for drawing power from the loop? A 386
- motherboard is probably out of the question, isn't it? :-> How about
- an LED or two, and maybe a small relay? How about blocking ring
- voltage?
-
- Any other homebrewer's hints appreciated. E-mail preferred, and if
- there's any interest, I'll summarize to the Digest.
