That is true. I did have that modem lock up once in the several years I |
| 29 |
used it. It was a lot better to just turn off the modem and then turn |
| 30 |
it back on, especially since I had several months of uptime. |

Also keep in mind, you have to completely turn off the system too. If |
| 33 |
in windoze, start, turn off puter, select turn off not reboot, then let |
| 34 |
the computer completely power off. Basically, you have to turn off the |
| 35 |
power to the card. Sometimes it may reset with power applied but since |
| 36 |
you're already rebooting, why waste more time trying it. |
