One other problem has shown up on my Password modem, which
might also be on the S-100 version (I'd like to find out).

If you have the modem powered up and attached to the phone line,
and someone calls you and you answer it manually on the first ring
(i.e. before the modem would have picked it up)
you will hear the modem come on anyway.
You are trying to talk to the person who called you, and the
modem is busy going "ooooooooooooo" at you both.

It happens in the other direction, too.
If you dial someone with your phone, when they answer
the modem picks up and goes "oooooooo".

Anyone know how to avoid this
(other than unplugging the modem from the phone
line or turning it off)?
