Children, the Net, and Dead Modems

My Zoom 14.4k modem just caught on fire.  Therefore, there will
be a sudden interruption of my participation in our friendly
Sunday afternoon flame war on children, the Net, and other
related issues.

I found an 11 year old Hayes Smartmodem in a heap of junk in my
closet.  I think it will do 1200.

This is the second time my Zoom modem has burned up unexpectedly
after being replaced under Warranty, in case anyone is thinking
of buying one.

Come on, Mike, we didn't flame you _that_ much! :-}

(Has anybody heard from Nathan to see if the same thing happened to
him? Perhaps he took it as a sign from above.)

Good luck on gettting back up to at least a tolerable speed. My Supra
14.4 has been running like a charm for more than two years. And
they're a lot cheaper now than then.
