Yes! I apologize, I meant "..._without_ the RJ11 cord connected..."
Is it possible a surge could have fried the RAM and now it won't
hold memory? That was my contention, but I'm not sure...

p.s. RAM replacement question: Will any 64K CMOS SRAM 28 pin chip work?
I have a HM6264P-12 120ns RAM chip that I bought today, and was wondering if
I might expect problems (due to difference from the recommended RAM chip)...
Thanks!
