I'm certainly not an expert on cbm hardware, but I know I can't turn off
my disk drive while my printer is printing. Even though they are not
related. It has something to do with the random power surges (?) present
when turning the system on or off send signals to the computer that
all hardware is turned off. Maybe your modem problem is related to this.
(Like I say, I'm no expert.)

What do you mean by "near Hayes compatible"? I'm in the market for a 1200
baud modem and would like Hayes compatibility.
