- Subject: Help! Modem possessed!!
-
- I was wondering if anyone could guess whats happening here:
-
- I have a 14.4 Internal Gateway Telepath modem which has served me fine lo
- these many (2) years. One day, I leave for a vacation, come back 2 weeks
- later and blammo - the modem has disconnected my telephone for at least a
- week (based on the last message I have on an answering machine). The
- computer was turned off the whole time.
-
- Now, the modem will not work. When I plug the phone line in, I get
- disconnected phone immediately and the modem will not dial.
-
- I have a strange feeling that a power surge went thru the phoneline or
- my dog was screwing with the computer while I was gone.
-
- Anything I can do? Is it worth fixing?
-
- Thanks,
- Paul PJS@uic.edu
