I am considering putting in a second phone line for use with my modem, so
I can feel free to stay online BBS'ing as long as I wish without missing
incoming calls, as well as being able to call my home machine when I'm at
work and someone asks for that new cdev I tell them about but didn't bring
in...

Of course, this will also provide a convenient phone number to give to those
firms that refuse to send sales literature without recieving my phone number.
8)  Methinks some carrier tone will discourage all but the most persistent
salesguy.
