I've been using an AE DataLink 2400 for about a month and a half now, and it's
worked flawlessly--until today.  When my roommate picked up the phone while I
was on the modem, I got garbage on the screen--a sign that the modem didn't cut
off the phone as it normally does.  (Normally, while the modem has a carrier
and is working, the phone that's connected to the "phone" jack gets
disconnected to keep this from happening.)

First, has anyone else had this problem, and what's usually wrong that causes
this?  Or am I just imagining things and something was wrong with the modem
that worked itself out?  Naah--now I have to watch out, or my roommates will
pick up the phone and junk the display or screw up a file transfer.  I'd
appreciate any answers by E-mail.
