| 300148 | 2004-12-08 00:08:00 | As far as I know there is only one rural modem available. Its expensive but they do work. Second choice would be a 56k Serial RS232 external (we assume you present external is not 56k?) as these are usually superior to internal modems when it comes to noisy lines, but not as immune as a Rural Modem would be. www.dynalink.co.nz |

| 300149 | 2004-12-08 00:16:00 | its that dont even know what it is, but i might just try a new usb external because i just saw the price of that modem godfather gave me, 200 or bucks. crazy | Prescott (11) | ||
| 300150 | 2004-12-08 00:31:00 | A USB external will probably be a complete waste of money. Usually they are just an ordinary PCI Winmodem with the added overhead of a USB interface. Unless you get a serial RS232 interface, the modem does not have its own on-board CPU and firmware. The Rural modems used to be over $400 at one time. |

| 300151 | 2004-12-08 00:42:00 | Just a thought here, GF . If he's getting "ticks", he's getting spikes, and they have a lot of high frequency components . Lowpass filters get rid of high frequency components . ADSL filters are lowpass filters . They attentuate the RF used by the DSL system, and leave the frequency range used by phones(and modems,and faxmachines) ;-) The only thing which might be a problem is dispersion -- frequency dependent phase shift -- but experiment will prove if it works . It might be possible to borrow one from someone . |

| 300152 | 2004-12-08 05:30:00 | The tick could be your neibours fence, or and fence all the way to exchange. you are doomed really. | fus1_n (3818) | ||

| 300154 | 2004-12-08 23:53:00 | Can you borrow an ADSL filter, Prescott? It would be worth a try. The modem would be a "phone" if you used a "splitter" (the "ADSL" outpuit is connected directly to the "Line" input. | Graham L (2) | ||
| 300155 | 2004-12-11 21:11:00 | still no luck on getting that tick out, ive looked everywhere. im using my old external modem and this seems to be doing the trick and i dont seem to be getting disconnected as much, ill just have to put up with it. :) thanks for all the help. |

| 300156 | 2004-12-11 21:22:00 | What is the make and model of the "old external modem"? | godfather (25) | ||
| 300157 | 2004-12-11 22:17:00 | their doesnt seem to be any mention of the name on the modem and i dont have the manual,box or the driver cd anymore and i am using the standard windows xp drivers, their are a bunch of numbers at the back of the modem and im not too sure on what they mean so i have taken a pic (sal.neoburn.net) . its a tad blured because it is such a close up, but its readable. :) | Prescott (11) | ||
