I imagine this problem still persists, although the submitter doesn't
say how they cause their computer to hang and the exact behaviour would
depend on that.
The problem here is inherent to the hardware: a winmodem is not really a
modem at all; it's just an analogue-to-digital converter and it relies
on the computer to do all of the hard modem stuff. That modem stuff is
very timing critical so if the computer is busy for any reason it
breaks.
We run sl-modem-daemon with a very high priority (RTPRIO) and arrange
for all of it to be loaded into memory permanently, to try to reduce the
occurrence of these problems, but fundamentally the only real solution
to this problem is to buy a real modem.
