Modem Question

[Jon Moss]

I flashed it to the most recent firmware back in December when I was first
setting up the dialin PPP server.  It's as new as it can get (this
hardware is pretty old, but very reliable and good).  I even have a UPS
for the Linux server and modem.  The last piece of that puzzle is to move
the cable modem and wireless router to the UPS so that only a failure on
the part of RoadRunner would cause the dialin server to become unavailable
(or the stupid modem getting locked up!  :)

Thanks for all the good suggestions!
