I've had an ISDN line since early 93, but don't have any plans (or the money) 
to get an I-modem.  After a lightning storm last Thursday, it seems I no 
longer have a Courier to operate, so I'm back to the 14.4 AT&T Paradyne for 
awhile.  Both the power cord and phone line are on surge protectors, but 
something got thru to it.  It was nice while it lasted. :-)
The Courier will still answer and connect ok, but only sends/receives 
gibberish now.  Any ideas before I see if it is worth sending in and having 
it fixed?
