I think the driver <for the modem only> or perhaps it was, indeed the modem itself which was affected by the storm ... however, I noticed that CPQ had settled a multi million dollar suit for problems caused by their modems in earlier machines .... it was really a strange feeling to have the dude lock up mouse wouldn't move then whapppp ... automatic reboot all by itself ... there was/is a Lucent Winmodem on the box from the factory .. bout year and a half old .... good functioning machine and no complaints .... I have noticed that Win Modems *(any brand) are a lot more touchy than the more expensive ones ... but again, not enough better to make me pay for them any more . ...ggggg
