I had a modem lockup yesterday with the 18 beta. The S30 option seems to have 
reset the modem fine but Frontdoor could not initilize the modem before it 
reset. The modem gets 'hung' when a user logs off the bbs...so frontdoor 
restarts trying to init the modem which is still hung until the limit in the 
S30 parameter is reached. By that time frontdoor has aborted. I'm going to 
work with my frontdoor setup and batch file to see if I can work around 
it.....have frontdoor or my batch file 'loop' until it can re-init the modem.
Thanks,
Richard
