If I might follow up to my own post, you may very well have a leaky or shorted optocoupler IC in the modem section (near the phone line jacks). It's likely a 4-pin DIP (or in a 6-pin DIP) package, possibly with a part number like 4N2x, 4N3x or similar. I would certainly check out the opto and associated parts. Regards, William E.
