- Perhaps I should add my two cents (Dfl 0.02), because the reason of
- malfunctioning of MY Neuron modem I've never seen described before, and it
- might be a very general 'bug'. I discovered it in May, when it steadily
- grew warmer in the Netherlands (even got days with 20+ degrees - Celsius
- that is). You know what: as soon as the room temperature goes beyond 23,
- the modem starts to get 'carrier problems', the SQ (signal quality) light
- starts to flicker and after a while (on a News transfer) it simply
- declares 'carrier lost'. I solve this by getting a litre pack of yoghurt
- out of the refrigerator and laying it on the modem just a quarter of an
- hour before the news transfer starts: no problem (that's how I got this
- one - temperature is now 24).
