BTW the input power on the modem is I have in front of me three modems. One is a Global Village TelePort 33.6 Speakerphone Fax/Modem. The power supply output:9V DC 600mA. The PS plug looks somewhat like the ADB plug. The second Modem is a US Robotics Sportster Voice 28.8 V34 and 33.6 Faxmodem and the PS output: 20VAC 10VA. Plug is like most wall wart plugs. Dimensions unknown? The third is a Diamond Supra Express 56k. PS output:DC 6V 500mA. The plug is similar to a audio plug in appearance, but smaller. My conclusion, well, I don't have one. Leave that to you. David in WV.
