Re: Soldering to gold plated terminals

They'd regularly 'go wobbly' and refuse to equalize with their friend-on-another-continent. After much money spent on transatlantic phonecalls and time spent blaming BT, AT&T, Canada's CNCP and such, the fickle finger of fate was pointed at the modems - a bunch of which were sent back to MILGO. Shortly afterwards they sent us a load of replacement modems. Free. Turns out that the 'national-telco-specific' LSI chips had gold-plated legs and were fitted to PCB-sockets that were not gold-friendly. |
