	Yes, I encountered this problem many times in a hotel room
in Santa Fe last week.  It only occurred when the modem was plugged in
to the phone line.  When it happened, the screen would go blank and
the machine would have to be power-cycled.  Very annoying.

	It never happened when the modem was not being used.  I was
able to leave the machine on for many hours without problems, as long
as the modem was not in use.

	I would love to learn of a solution.
