Instead it is routed directly to one of the speakers. It was intended for an amiga branded modem -- the modem would put the phone signal out to the "audio in" pin, which would end up outputing to the speaker. This way the modem would not need its own speaker. Sorry to disapoint... Neil Katin Commodore Amiga Inc.
