I accidently toasted an R5311-18 in a 2400 baud modem.  I was planning to 
get a replacement for it, but I had noticed that it and its companion
the R5310-18 are *heating* up beyond what I would think is a good idea
I have also been having flaky problems with the modem that seem to be heat
related (i.e. garbage and disconnects when the modem has been running for a
while and seems good and hot) So, my question:

Is there a better, yet plug compatible version of this chipset, that will
not heat up as much, and give me trouble?

The modem was bought with price in mind, so I would not be surprised if 
substandard parts were used. :-)

Please respond via email, and thanks alot in advance...
