I received two responses to my previous posting regarding problems with
the interrupt switch. The two people who replied said they had traced
the problem back to their Apple modems. One had a modem 1200, the other
the Personal modem (the one you plug in the wall). Both said they had en-
countered similar problems as I had (i.e., only a frozen mouse after
depressing the interrupt switch, no mini-debugger), but ONLY when their
modems were connected and powered on. Since I have an Apple modem 1200
too, I checked the interrupt switch with modem on and off (leaving the
cables in place). With the modem off everything worked fine, but when
I turned it on there was no way I could get the mini-debugger! So that
seems to be the problem.

Does anybody else have this problem with other modems? What could it be,
that causes this annoying behavior?
