Well, actually I have already had a failure in both units I bought
(TB+).  Fortunately it is a nuisance failure and doesn't affect normal
operation.

Our computer room is rather noisy so I set the speaker volume to max so
I could monitor connections (s61=255 M1).  I suspect this was agrivated
by problems in debugging the dialer routine.  The modem would
ocasionally be placed off-hook and left there for a while.  The phone
company would eventually send me that over volume "HANG UP THE PHONE"
message and tone.

Apparently this was too much for the audio output.  Both modems are now
silent at all times regardless of settings.  I will have to see about
getting them repaired before the warranty expires.
