Volts and amps. Some digital phone systems used a higher current than normal phone circuits. These days it isn't as common, but it used to be more of a risk that plugging the wrong thing into the wrong socket could fry something. Normal phone gear, including modems, are fairly rugged though, since the ring is triggered by a voltage spike in normal operation. I don't know how sensitive the current TiVo modems are, the Series2 seems to be a lot more rugged than the Series1. Modem failure happened a bit too often on the S1. Not that it was common or anything, just seemed to happen more than you'd expect. -MZ -- <URL:mailto:megazoneatmegazone.org> Gweep, Discordian, Author, Engineer, me.
