1-10-94 FM Radio over your modem......
The phone wire is acting as an antenna. Make sure the internal modem
is screwed down to the computer case or the cable is screwed in at both
plugs. Some motherboards are not grounded (held by clips instead of screws)
and they should be grounded.
Try some tinfoil around the phone wire, and the wire should be as
short as possible. Slide the foil up/down the wire to de-tune it. This
usually works, unless the house wiring is picking it up. then you may need
a phone filter (from Radio Shack etc).
If it is AM radio, we have a fax to show how to make two different
filters to help.
We had a new cause of interference today. Someone had a modem near
some kind of a 'cable box'. When he moved it, the problem was eliminated.
