28745 2001-12-27 07:44:00 When I was on the Internet my computer fell over (windows, no suprises) my modem is connected to a double phone jack and whilst it was still plugged in it would not 'hang up' even though the computer was shut off. It was not until I switched on the computer and reconected to the internet it reset the connection 'hung up'. Any explanations? Sorry if the explanation is confusing it is a hard one to explain.

Don't worry about it, as long as it still works ok.

Thanks again.
