[SEL] O.T. Computer Question

[Robert L. Holtzer]

Bill, where is this feature found?  I don't see it in Device Manager modem 
or Control Panel modem phone.  Is there another modem power management 
location.   I have XP Home.  My modem is external -- possibly this location 
has different power management.

Thanks.
