dirk, i had one fritz out like that after a couple weeks i think the only wayaround it was unplugging the power supply anyway, sent it in to Supra and got it back fixed within a week (and i'm on the end of the pony express trail) with that kind of response i don't think it's worth dinking with myself lg

Dirk, this is a fairly easy problem to fix. It requires clipping a lead from one component on the circuit board. You can return the modem to Supra and we will do this for you. If you'd like to do it yourself, I'll give you instructions, as follows: 1. Remove the ON/OFF knob, the retaining screws from the bottom of the case, and the back panel. Then slide the circuit board out. 2. Locate the triac. This component is immediately forward of the phone line jacks. It will look like a square box standing on its side, and supported by three legs. 3. Clip out the middle leg, so that the triac is only supported by the legs on either end. 4. Reassemble and enjoy your modem. 5. Please accept our appologies for the oversight. Regards, Clark Supra Technical Support

I use a Supra 2400 at home. No problem like yours. Could be a faulty unit or could be some software-settable switch in the unit that you have triggered. Don't have the docs here so I couldn't say. Anyone else think that could be it?

Ken; I tryed all the software settable switchs. No help. But Supra told me how to fix it. Runs great now. Thanks alot for your help. Dirk
