Is there a way to get a telephone answering machine to work properly with a AT&T Unix PC 7300 connected to the same phone line? Apparently, the Unix PC is soaking up the AC ring voltage... Emmet P.

I have no problems with my machines on a 7300. just put them in the correct order. (line)----[ans mch]---[7300]---[second modem]===[terminal] I have three item thing hanging off of the line. They all in serial connection, not parallel.. (that might cause problems). -- ================================================================================ Gary W.

I should add that there is a telephone answering voice interface board for the 7300 that allows the PC to act as an answering machine. It turns the phone messages into voice mail that can be forwarded or read on the local machine. It works considerably better than trying to use both machines together.
