Yeah, it shows up as garbage on your screen, you can then stop what you're doing and yell at the poor person who was trying to call you :). I was getting pretty upset when Rochester Telephone turned it on on my line for free as a trial offer. I suggest getting another line if not missing phone calls is more important to you than work and money. -Mucit PS: I've never really attempted to suspend the modem communication take the call and then resume. Has anyone tried this?
