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. > Then I rebooted and for quite a while -- > unlike my present kernel which is 2.6.24-gentoo-r5 and a speakup git > of about 2 month ago -- I could get no keyboard access for some time, > although it did eventually appear.

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