Probably not a good idea. The typical electronic fuses are meant to interrupt up to 250 V AC, and will likely arc over with 500+ V with a strong DC component to them. A slo-blo fuse might do better as they have a spring to pull one end away from the other. But, I would not expect it to work reliably. Jon |

Better check there is no power going to the big Tx first. There is little current surge at power on , so suggestive of no main Tx coming on, just the little standby Tx. |
| N_Cook <diverse@tcp.co.uk>: Mar 30 04:34PM +0100 nothing to do with the current problem. Mighty strange place to put 2x fans, each one 20mm from a wall of unperforated aluminium, how the air is supposed to pass and cool the H/S vanes is beyond me. |

Seems to me like the only test would be two phones side-by-side on the same exchange: one "With" and one "Without" and some record of calls to each. Having said that, I have had the SIT tone for "Number not working" in the beginning of my answering machine announcement for at least 4 years now and I do not perceive any improvement. -- Pete Cresswell |

Supposedly there was a scam using that strategy: the CallerID number would be one of those exchanges like the phone sex operators use where the caller gets charged per minute and a percentage of the charge goes to the operator. -- Pete Cresswell |

If the source is indeed off-shore -- that is, in another nation -- what jurisdiction would the U.S. government or the government of any U.S. state have in that other nation? Turn that around. If someone in the U.S. violated a German or French patent, should those nations have the right to go to Philadelphia and arrest someone, try him, and fine him? -- David E. Ross Why do we tolerate political leaders who spend more time belittling hungry children than they do trying to fix the problem of hunger? <http://mazon.org/> |

I rarely get non-charity/political calls. I did get a call a couple weeks ago from a vent cleaning company. What kind of calls would come from overseas? |
