- My phone line went dead for a few days, and I couldn't figure out why. I
- unplugged my modem, and the phones worked. Apparently, the modem had
- failed to restore the line when it disconnected from whatever machine
- I had been communicating with. The modem continues to function properly
- except that I can't leave it plugged into the phone line. I have to
- plug it in to originate a call, and dial before the dial tone drops.
- Leaving it to work with BYE is, of course, out of the question. I know
- I can pick up a new modem like this for a paltry sum, but I'm pretty broke,
- and I don't want to spend money unless I need to. Any advice? I have never
- opened the case, for fear of destroying it...I'm not even sure it unscrews,
- but I guess it does. Help if you can! Thanks in advance...
