Quite ridiculous if you ask > me. Strange... * check if there is anything in your bios that could cause this * check your modem configuration to see if it has any option that might cause this (call back, wake up on call etc). * check your box to see which processes are using /dev/ttyS0 (or whatever device your modem is connected to). lsof or fuser might came handy. Check what is running during shutdown to see if it may cause something wierd (/init.d/rc0.d and /init.d/ rc6.d for halt and reboot respectively)... pay especial attention to setserial. IRQ conflicts (/proc/interrupts)? It would help if you could identify exactly where in the shutdown sequence this happens. E.g. if you watch your first console, you will see daemons shutdown, is it before/after a particular daemon or, say, when power is actually cut? /Allan -- Allan M. Wind P.O.
