- Earlier today, I had been using MS-KERMIT to dial in to a computer.
- I logged off, hung up, and exited. A little while later (while in the
- middle of another program, unrelated to serial communications), the
- phone rang and my PC completely froze, requiring a hard reboot.
-
- I have a Zoom 2400bps modem attached to COM1, if this is relevant.
- I've noticed this occurring intermittently before.
-
- Why should the phone cause my PC to die, and is there anything I can do
- about it?
-
- Thanks for any suggestions
