I have found that any device that starts to malfunction after a certain
amount of time is possibly being affected by heat build up. The modem may
have a bad component on it. I had a similar problem with a sound card that
would start out functioning fine when I turned the puter on but if for some
reason I did a restart the next time an exclatmation mark would appear in
device manager and the sound card wouldnt work properly. I actually ended
up replacing the motherboard because the ISA slot where the sound card went
into turned out to be malfunctioning. It was certainly caused by the system
heating up though.
