[ILUG] X Noise

[Michael Field - NC Systems Server Engineering - SUN Ireland]

What I think I'm going to do is see if there's a jumper that can be changed on 
th modem to disable the speaker. I'd be afraid to cut the speaker out altogether 
because it could be in series with the line instead of accross it.

If the worst comes to the worst I'll tape loadsa foam to it and hopefully it'll 
act as a muffler.

Michael.

wait .. I've just had a better idea I'm going to attack it with blue-tak.
