It usually only works for a day or two after a restart. It has been 23 hours since I restarted and it is still working. I did reseat the modem so we'll see what happens. I know that this isn't a normal thing because my old Digital audio 533MHZ worked fine. at one point it ran for 24 days without a restart and was still working perfectly. With the MDD the modem i the only bad thing about leaving it up for days. On both machines I run Mac OS 10.4 Server. -Jonas
