Are you sure it was dead or crashed, or did you just lose speech?  The
reason I ask is you might have come across the  issue that happens when
we time out too many times waiting for the synth to tell us it can
receive more data -- after it times out so many times we  assume that
someone has turned off the synth and put it in an unavailable status.

The modem issue sounds like it might be the "floating serial ports" issue
reported in Bugs.txt.
