Well this explains what that occassional loud squwak (SP?)
sound was that I used to get.  I also had occassional
crashes with "PANIC: kernel addressing error" (or something
close to that).  But I called AT&T and got a new mother board
and I haven't had any of those symptoms since.  No squacking,
no crashes for about a month now.  Previously I noticed a
sqauck about once a week.  Sometimes the squacks would come
in a group with 3 or 4 squacks within a 10 minute period.
It also seemed like they would be at full volume, no matter
where my volume control was set.  They would happen even
when I wasn't at the computer, with nothing running (though
it's possible that there were incomming calls to the modem
at the time).  After explaining all this, I'm not sure if
my problem was the same as described, but it certainly seems
like it was related.
