huh.. I tried that electrolytic 10 mf cap. works fine across unused line from the pic. but I started wondering what it might do to the waveform of the incoming pc. I put it accross the pic out, and it went from high/low pulsing to low pulsing. anotherwords the cap is too high. I recon I'm going to have to pull out the old cap box I salvaged some years back and try some various values. I recon its about time to re-stock on the salvaged caps, the goo inside is prolly starting to dry up on the old ones. man.. I sure hope I don't have to find a scope to do this with, that would be a pain in the rear.

gotta hammer away some more and try to find some solutions. I think I am going to replace the wires with twisted pair cat 5 and see what that does.

Hi, Lincoln

Why do you think ICs creators spend their efforts in creating LINE DRIVERS with as little as possible output impedance ???

Good question ... don't you think ?
