bad modem~r{_
Jeff P.
I once had to drive from Portland to Estacada, and noticed that I was
going to pass through Boring, Or. on the way. I thought, "Gee, I gotta be
sure to see this place." Despite my vigilance, I abruptly found myself in
Estacada, having missed Boring entirely during the night. Must be a
well-named place!
Regarding modems, mine is momentarily behaving, but threatens to get
weird any moment. I have an old Avatex 2400 which always runs at about 110
degrees F. In fact, I sent the first one back to the company on the
grounds that it had to be malfunctioning to generate all that heat. Do the
other brands get anywhere close to this hot? Might my modem be slowly
frying itself? My problems also seem to get worse when the thing's been on
for a while…
Actually, I'm quite surprised at how well behaved the dodad is today…
when I left my last message, I had to go into chat modem and erase
frantically as more and more spurious characters kept showing up.
