Default Odd Rebooting Question

My roommate reports that when his phone rings (connected through an internal
modem) his computer reboots. I assume he's insane but to placate him I'm
posting this question. Anyone ever heard of this?

What does one have to do with the other?

I'd try a different driver then replace the modem if that doesn't
help.

If it still reboots after a modem swap then tell him it's the MAN,
calling to get at his data, and he should shred everything and flee.

Are you sure it s not booting up rather than reboots. If it is just go
into the bios and disable wake on ring or modem.
