I tried a 100k Ohm since I didn't have a 100 Ohm, no effect. I don't have
a bulb or anything handy to try with that.
I think I am going to dig out the modem it goes to, and test the voltage
with it hooked to that. That will at least give it real use load (the
modem powers up just fine, it just fails to respond to all AT commands
except for getting the firmware, and it won't attempt to go off hook or
dial... I'm not 100% convinced the modem is really "dead" so much as it
just doesn't want to co-operate).
Thanks to all those that responded... I knew I could get some good
answers here.
