I have several DEC Scholar Modems (DF224) donated by DEC to a local
school.  Some of them work OK, but others fail to go 'off hook'
when I send ^A^B to them.  I get 'Error' on ^A and 'Ready' on ^B.

Since this seems to be a common failure mode with these units, I'm
wondering if someone here recognizes the symptom and can suggest
what component in the modem might be defective.  I am prepared to
take a soldering gun to the boards if there is a reasonable expectation
of repairing them.
