	The best way to deal with this is a sledge hammer.  Your choice
	as to the target.  The choices are:

	1. You for posting this in this newsgroup.

	2. Him for bugging you about it if he won't simply let you
	   take it back.

	3. The computer which has just "mysteriously" developed a "hardware
	   conflict".  

    4.  You again for posting that the computer has developed a
		"hardware conflict" yet not posting what TYPE of conflict
		it is.  Memory, dma, irq, what?   Does by any change that
		modem have registers which store configuration information
		that would be LOST if the system is powered down?   (Or
		the computer itself?)
