Hi Peter and Neil, > Bizarre is all I can think of. What brand/model is the modem?
Standard Netcomm modem, straight from Aussie Broadband. The house is brand new - not even finished, and I not only turn everything off, I have a power isolating switch on the computer room and that is also switched off when we aren't there. We are completely charmed by it - makes a good show if someone else is there working on the place - we can just wave a hand and the iMac boots up. The modem isn't so obliging. I have been known to make (old-fashioned large) printers spew out paper when I walk up to them - I definitely store a static charge strong enough to affect electrical devices, but I've never actually turned one on before, and Geoff has never had static issues.
