When I have a modem (ISDN terminal adapter) plugged into a USB port on my laptop, there is an abnormal amount of cooling-fan activity (about 75% of the time), even if the modem is not in use. Could this be because the modem is taking its power from the pc (even though the power consumption is very small)? I don't mind the fan kicking-in now-and-again, but to have it on most of the time is a real pain.
Has anyone any ideas how to solve this problem? Would an externally powered USB hub be the answer? I don't want to have to disconnect the modem every time it is not in use (that causes other problems described in another thread).
Any help would be appreciated.
