You seem a little confused.  I did not claim, or imply, that I knew the
answer, at all.  What I was trying to tell you was that you could have
(and SHOULD have) searched out the manual to know what kind of power
adapter you needed.  It's right there, and you could have avoided all
the hassle you went through trying to get modems to work.

Not sure why you're so hostile.  Maybe you should chill out a little.
