Mly.G.Pogo@MIT-OZ ("Bob Soron") (12/19/85)
After having used an el cheapo 300-baud modem with my Apple ][+, I recently traded up to a used Vadic 3451 modem, with the Apple Super Serial card. The problem is that whenever my roommate picks up his phone -- it's a completely separate line -- the Vadic disconnects. When he dials his phone, the Vadic starts making the clicking noise it makes when it dials. I have no trouble going on-line if he's already on the phone, but when he hangs up, the Vadic disconnects. He's using a Western Electric phone (a Mickey Mouse, for what it's worth). The previous owner never had any trouble with it, and he is as trustworthy as a person can be. My guess is shielding, but I'm a complete layperson on these matters. If anyone can give me a solve or even a more definitive guess, I'd surely appreciate it. I'm not on the list, and read the bboarded digest irregularly; please respond to me directly. Thanks in advance. ...Bob (mly.g.pogo % mit-oz @ mit-mc) -------
