  While corruption of the driver file is not impossible, it is far more
likely that a lightning-induced voltage surge along the phone line has
destroyed crucial parts of the modem electronics.  It really doesn't take
much!  (Some surge-protection devices include a couple of phone jacks so you
can connect your modem to the phone system through the suppressor, to
prevent this kind of damage.)
