A interesting note, and I forgot to include this in my original post, but
the computer that I encountered the illegal sumouts on was a 500MHz K6 PC.
Perhaps this is a problem when running those software modems on a K6 based
machine??

It would be nice to find another soon. But I don't think we're overdue.

For what it's worth, I have had the exact same problem getting illegal
sumouts when using the modem on this 475Mhz K6 PC. Hasn't happened since
january but had been happening about once a fortnight for months, and _only_
when the modem was heavily in use (Rockwell HCF 56K Data Fax PCI Modem). I
