Can any reader please help me...

I have a Falcon (proudly made in the US) 2400 modem which I purchase 10
months or so ago. 3 month warranty expired, and the shop I purchased
from is just an importer.

Of late it's been giving me some trouble:

*	On the rare occasions that DTR assertion actually brings on the
Terminal Ready light on the modem these days, it only performs correctly
for a short period of time (say 5 minutes).

*	Most of the time, the DTR light on the modem just stays off. A hard
reset of the modem (and my PC) doesn't help.

*	I managed to get the modem doctor software from a friend, which told
me that everything was fine except my modem.

*	I have used 3 different cables, which all used to work just fine, now
none do.


I have noticed that all the silion is actually made in Aisa
(Taiwan I think :-{ )

So - can anybody say they've had exerience with this brand of modem, and
can anybody help me? I don't read this newsgroup, so perhaps you could
e-mail me if you can help? Thanks in anticipation:
