Odd. An awful lot of the external modems I've dealt with were 12-24
VAC power supplies. Just about anything by Tandy comes to mind from
the bad old days when 1200 bps was considered "fast", but I'm pretty
sure the unit I'm presently using (I can't see the power brick from
here and I hate unplugging a modem while I'm on-line -- with my ISP
there's a 20% chance of a connection in any attempt -- had I
mentioned lately a desire to change ISPs?) is getting AC to the unit
at a reduced voltage.

Bill Gates has this situation where the federal government wants him
convicted for attempting a monopoly. Has Bill considered responding
with a question as to why there's only one Justice Department?
