About the ADC modem...

I bought an ADC modem about a year and a half ago.  It worked fine for
about a month, then it kind of died.  300 baud still worked, but not
1200 baud.  I sent it back, and they fixed it for free (1 year
warranty).  I then used it for over a year without any problems.  Just
a few days ago I used it again, and it didn't work!  Again, it would not
answer back to the modem on the other end, but both at 300/1200 baud.
The modem has a transformer inside, so it gets hot.  I reseated all the
ICs, with no luck.  After leaving it unplugged a day I tried it again,
and it worked without any problems.  I suspect that some of the parts
are heat sensitive.

I don't know if these problems are inherent in all ADC modems, but it
is kind of questionable that my modem has exhibited two problems like
this...
