My good old 56k ISA modem died! Like right after I got home, I powered my box up, and it wouldn't get past the grub boot screen. After I got that fixed, I was online for 5 minutes, and the connection just went to crap. I used Net Meeting to log in to my dialup server and see what was going on, and the modem was dead! I ran to Wal-Mart and got another one of those crap USR v.92 modems. The last one I had worked fine for about 10 minutes on each conection, then it would just die. It wouldn't disconnect... It just quit working.

Hopefully this one wont do the same thing. It is the same exact model after all...

now, ive never had a fire start in my toster at home thats WAY older than me, so how could someone be so dumb? it serves that idiot right that she cant come back to the dorms next year
