Lines: 20 Being an AT&T Technologies (nee WECO) employee, I find this request for technical information most interesting. The nomenclature provided in the request is for a modem that is not for sale, has never been for sale, and therefore would appear to be stolen property. In any event, you'll have a hell of a time trying to make it work. That particular modem was never intended to work as a stand-alone unit, nor will it work in conjunction with a regular telephone. As far as I know, the component that is required to make it work is also not for sale. You will notice that I have avoided describing the missing piece. That is simply because it is probably available to your "friend" from the same source that the modems were acquired, and I've no intention of telling him what to look for. If this message conveys my irritation, understand that I feel that it's bad enough that the U.S. Congress and the FCC are trying to drain my lifeblood with their absurd restrictions on AT&T, and the unfair financial advantages they're giving our competitors, without my fellow "computer buffs" (I've never cared for 'hacker') illegally acquiring (read stealing) our equipment.
