For years and years I have been using my old modem just to call phone
numbers from my addressbook. My internet connection nowadays is using
the cable. A few weeks ago I moved and by that all my power supplies got
mixed up in one big box. Until then I supposed they were all the same,
which in the mean time proved not to be true. Strange enough US Robotics
does not react to my inquiries. Can someone out there tell me what
secundary power (voltage and amperage) should be for this modem so I can
select the right supply? This would be very helpful.

What is the model number of the modem? I've got one old USR modem that was
pretty popular in its day...

Nothing on the modem gives a hint as to the voltage? wouldn't even look for
amperage, the voltage is the key item. Get the voltage correct and the
connector to fit properly, and you've got a solution.

IMO the best group to answer this question is comp.dcom.modems, but
you will need a model number. Otherwise, ISTR that the adapters are
either 20VAC 1A or 9VAC 1A but I can't be sure.
