Could be, could be.  I don't think its related to the XMODEM program, since
I seldom use capture mode.  It could be that the line noise sandra refers to,
which I also get whenever I disconnect, might just have a ^S in it.  If it 
did, would this cause the RS232 line to hang?  Remember, turning the modem
off doesn't do any good, only rebooting.  Anybody else have comments/solutions?
