Message-ID: Organization: The Avant-Garde of the Now, Ltd. Sender: Telecom@eecs.nwu.edu Approved: Telecom@eecs.nwu.edu X-Submissions-To: telecom@eecs.nwu.edu X-Administrivia-To: telecom-request@eecs.nwu.edu X-Telecom-Digest: Volume 11, Issue 443, Message 5 of 5 Lines: 15 I use a 270 ohm 1/2w resistor in series with a red LED, and either crimp it into a modular plug, or solder it to one of those nifty AM-P widgets that can be stuffed over the pins on the 66 blocks. That way, I've got a red light glowing to remind me I've busied out the line. About a year ago, someone asked this same question and prompted a bunch of replies here on the net. Problem is, the archives are far to large to rummage through looking for an answer to a specific question. Ah well, maybe someday we'll have a really nice automated indexing scheme that can be queried by mail. Brian
