 I want to touch on a painful issue for all of us
(I mean SysOps) problem: when
The modem will begin to pick up the phone normally
phone?                                
   I think almost every SysOp though
I would have encountered this problem once! Here,
for example, HAMER claims that without the second
Relays on the diagram are indispensable.  I don't
I'm going to challenge it.  Everyone like
as they say, he thinks to the best of his ability
promiscuity... :) Well, that's of course
it’s good that this person has at least something
surprised the people, and not just surprised, but this
bloat (?) brought some certain
benefit.  However, I think this is too much
cumbersome, inconvenient, in general... a lot
takes up space!                           
   This situation started to haunt me
from the moment I opened ABILITY!
:( Horror! What have I encountered! But
more about this later...                          
   And so, rummaging around in my house, I found
great lightera piece of resin and
with the help of the wonderful book "Modem - not
there's a glitch!" buried in my brain,
applied a rather interesting scientific
method, the so-called SCIENTIFIC POKE METHOD!
Wow!  With his help, within a short
time (just about a month) configured
modem for picking up the phone... How?
you ask. I answer:                     
   Step 1: Solder the middle resistor
(this is probably no secret to anyone anymore) on
1M (for some it is 0.5M or 1.2M) and
Instead, we solder a capacitor with a capacity
1OmF (yellow or green - it doesn’t matter!)      
   Action 2 (corrected and supplemented)
noe): to the resistor, which is located
perpendicular to these three,
I'm sorry, two and a capacitor,
solder the variable in series
cutter, approximately 47 kOhm                  
   That's it!  Nothing more is needed! Place
server and go to bed peacefully!         
   Especially for those who are not very
understood me well, of which I have no doubt,
I’ll give you a piece of the same C-DOS schematic
which I mocked.  Preferably
place your modem with the contacts facing up, and
stick down so you don't
mixed up:
