Hmmm... not even being able to *find* the modem doesn't seem like it
fits in that category to *me*... I could understand if he set up ok,
but had one of the traditional new-system problems.  But not even being
able to get an Amen from the modem seems to me like a much more
fundamental problem.

Nope; I don't remember anything either.  <sigh>

money.  :-}
