I have a Telecom network facility called "Call-Waiting". In case you are unfamiliar, it allows a second caller to ring in whilst you are talking to someone else (or on a modem call). The incoming call shows up as garbage on screen in bursts of four (4) pulses. The reason for this is the incoming call is signalled to you by a beep. You get the beep four times only. Perhaps you are getting this each time the person calls. I know it is most frustrating from my point of view. Trouble is, my wife will not let me get rid of it. Hopefully this provides a possible answer. Regards... >>Russell<< --- Opus-CBCS 1.14 * Origin: --==INFORMEX==-- New Plymouth, New Zealand.
