I got the extra panel, with the shielding, too. My Toshiba-brand
modem fit under the standard panel okay, but the shielding seemed
like a good idea. So I peeled it off the extra panel, and stuck it
on the standard panel (I needed to cut the shielding a bit). Works
like a charm--so does a friend's, without the shield, but then again,
he never was the sort to wear suspenders and a belt :-) Anyway, it
can't hurt and it might help.
