Interesting. The wall wart I used with the modem is the one that was in
the box along with all the other assorted parts. The wart has a label
marking it as the same manufacturer as the modem, so I didn't even think
about the fact that it might not be the RIGHT wart. Maybe it is really
from a different model modem.
I didn't persue the issue much since the modem is a Global Village for a
Mac. They are great modems... IF you have the right software. Without it,
they tend to be a pain in the ass. Since I don't have the exact software
that shipped with this model, and since the firmware claims it is a
French-Canadian modem, and I only have US-English software... I didn't
waste much time working on it.
But maybe I will do a little more research and see if it really should
have an AC adaptor, not a DC one.
Thanks
