I meant the components on the boards look similar, not that the boards themselves are interchangable. Sorry about that! They are not, AFAIK, though if I wasn't too lazy to go look I'd know in a few short minutes. With the idea that the expansion conn. signals (the modem related pins anyway) reveal _something_ relevant, as usual here's more info than anyone really wants: Main expansion connector signal assignments 68 +5V MODEM +5 V power for modem 69 LINET/R Modem DAA line talk/receive 75, 76, 151, 152 DAA GND Modem ground 143 DAA CNTLF Modem DAA control 144 DAA ID IN ID input from 152-pin connector to modem card 145 /RING DET Ring detect signal from the modem DAA 146 /RB DVR Modem relay B driver 147 /RA DVR Modem relay A driver I have no idea what it all means, however I _DO_ know there's a clue in there somewhere!
