 I think it's been doing it in Windows too.
 
 The modem isn't actually installed in Linux

 Anybody else experience gremlin?
 

wow! i think at this point i would take that sucker out of the machine, dump some holy 
water on it, dig a trench, throw the thing in there and set fire to it just for good 
measure. i think your modem is fried! sounds like the firmware on the modem's chip set 
went south.
