I just noticed something strange and I wonder if anyone
can explain it to me.  Ordinarily I leave my modem
turned on all of the time.  Yesterday, for some reason
I switched it off and I noticed a real slowdown.  Scrolling
text became very jerky and backspace ran at a very slow speed.
Switching the modem back on immediately returned things to normal.
Anyone know why?  I am running 3.0 on a mono slab (pre-turbo)
with a USRobotics 14.4 kbaud dual standard modem.
