	The modem *COULD* very possiblely (sp?) have been the source of the
problem, some modems take 115 VAC direct (few actually do :-), or (more
commonly :-) take 9 to 15 VAC.  AC plays nasty tricks on computer circuits,
can you say RFI? I knew that you could! ;-)

	If you didn't move the monitor (another GREAT source of interferance :-)
after you moved the modem, the modem (or it's power cord) were probably guilty.
