Here's the problem:

I have my originally issued (12/99 - @home) RCA DCM105 cable modem.  It's
been working like a champ until today.

Twice in the last few hours, all the lights go out, including the power
light.  Pushing the on-off button does nothing.  The only thing that will
get it back on is to remove power at the ac adapter plug and replug, or
unplug the ac adapter from the wall and replug it.  I don't have to wait any
period of time.

I have noticed that the adapter is very warm, warmer than most ac adapters
that I have, but I don't know how warm it normally is, since it's always on
the floor.  It's rated output is 16VDC, 1000mA.  I will try another generic
variable adapter, if I can find one, but that may be hard.

Has anyone experienced this type of modem behavior?

ATTBI is scheduled to come out on next Wednesday, and I suspect they will
replace the modem, IF it is not working when they come.  I am tempted to buy
my own modem, but with the Comcast soon taking over, I'd hate to have one
that they don't recommend.

If you're in the SFBay Area, do you know what modem is standard issue these
days?

Thanks,
