[SEL] O.T. Computer Question

[Bill Dickerson]

Check in device manager, modem properties and make sure that it's not set to
allow the OS to power the modem down to save energy. 
Some dummy at Microsoft decided it was ok to power down modems and network
cards after a period to save power - yeah, right - how much power can a
modem or network card take.

Might be worth querying your modem via Control Panel diagnostics.  It should
tell you whether or not your modem is OK.
