[comp.sys.mac] RF noise in modems

mls@mhuxu.UUCP (Michael Siemon) (07/20/88)

Remember the Practical Peripherals 2400 discussion a while back?  I recall
one note mentioning that RF noise will disrupt the little plastic-cased
beasties (and that more expensive metal-cased modems are somehwat more
protected from this.)

Now I have had my pp2400 working fine for the most part, but whenever the
clothes dryer in the next room (about a yard away) is rolling, my modem is
useless!  What I need from some of the hardware jocks here is some advice
on how to shield my poor, sensitive pet from the hard RF world.  Comments?
