My officemates and I have noticed a curious phenomenon when we call
our answering machines from the office to check if we have messages.
After we hang up, our office phone (which we just called from) often
starts ringing almost immediately.  When we pick it up, all we hear is
the hangup "click".

  What causes this?  Please respond by E-mail to rang@cs.wisc.edu, as
I don't always have time to read this group.

	Thanks in advance!

	  Anton
