Has anyone ever lost a modem to a phone line spike? What did you do? What did the phone*company do? Apparently, i just lost my 2400 external to a spike... all of a sudden it spat out garbage and refused to work properly. I powered sown completely, and upon turning it back on, it makes a awful noise, and comes up about 50% of the time... when i go to dial, it picks up the phone, and SOMETIMES gets the first digit out. After that, it's catatonic. Anyone with similar experiences? Please email replies, or follow up to alt.bbs, I don't read dcom.modems.
