I had some problems initialiy with the modem. After using the modem under Win95 I did not have any. I may also have changed a number of other things so Win95 may have had nothing to do with it. I am currently running 2.2-BETA with the PAO-970111 patches but I also ran under 2.2-BETA. I enabled APM in the kernel. I do recall the screen blanking with no recovery but I believe I was running a kernel with the APM disabled.
