Both of my modems are on all the time... Cable is always on and the standard 56K modem is also on 24/7, just not always connected to someone. And I run a BBS that has been online for years and that modem has probably been on for over 5 years now... No heat problems with any of them... Just another soggy Seattle Sysop. -----Original Message----- From: janis [mailto:janis.burns@ntlworld.com] Sent: Tuesday, January 22, 2002 2:10 PM To: GEN-FRIENDS-L@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [GEN-FRIENDS] Disaster again.
