I found out what was wrong with my xm 301 modem. The cable tv system was 
feeding back signals through my computer-through the modem- and to the phone
line. It was a long process of taking the modem apart, taking the computer
apart, and tracing the problem down to the back of my television.
Something to consider. I guess the ATARI switch boxes are only SPDT. If they 
were DPDT then the intereference from the cable line would not get through.
