The joys of living in florida!. Last night a lightning strike took out two v.32 modems I had set up in my house. And yes, they were run through a lightning protector. The strike also made my two line phone into a one line phone with additional 2nd line force busy option, and changed one of my TVs into a video (no sound) monitor. Sigh. Anyway, One of these modems is a prototype v.32 that Digicom made for Ark Electronics. The power transformer is dead. The other V.32 is a UDS V.3225. It seems to almost completely work. It powers up, it can run an AT&T0 loopback with no problems. An ATA makes plenty of noise. But when you do an ATDT, all I hear is static. My guess is that one of the relays is toast. I suspect that lightning came in the power. took out the digicom, the proceeded thru the phone lines to take out other stuff. So now I need some questions answered. 1) Could UDS fix this modem for a reasonable price ( <$100 ) 2) barring that, can I find replacements for the relays which are a type I've never seen before. These are ETAL P1200's. I suspect they are solid state relays 3) Does anyone know the pinout of the 10V 2 Amp AC power transformer used by the old 12"x12"x4" sized digicom V.32. I have to see what happens if power is applied before seeing how damaged it is. Any info people might have would be appriciated.
