A friend of mine has just informed me that he fixed the bad problem he was
having with noise on his (home) phone line when trying to use a modem by
requesting that the phone company remove his "call waiting" feature.
(The noise occurred all the time, not just when he was getting a second
phone call).
Apparently when he made the request the service person chuckled and said
"oh, so you're trying to use a modem, eh?"
