I have the same problem with USR sportster internal modem (33.6). 
In my case the keyboard locks up and the only  way to control the
machine is a hardware reset. I believe that there is some timing 
issue. And I am unable to initialize the modem S-Registers settings,
since the system is goes **DEAD** after AT.

(PS. My system is Gateway 2000 w/ 486 DX2-66 Intel Classic -R 
motherboard using a flash bios (latest version))
version from MICRO firmware)
