We bought 8 PM9600SA modems in December.  3 have failed so far, all
with the same symptoms - they can no longer go off hook.  Is this
typical?  PPI has replaced all the failed modems reasonably quickly,
but you still have to wonder about their quality control.  Don't they
do any burn-in testing?

Anyone else have similar problems?
