I have read that if you call-forward your phone to itself, the caller will receive a busy signal if your phone is in use. If it works, then while your modeming, no one is offending (except maybe your caller). -- Daniel M. O'Brien AT&T Bell Laboratories IH 4A-258 Naperville, IL 60566 ....!ihuxj!dob

**** **** From the keys of Steve Henning, AT&T Bell Labs, Reading, PA aluxe!2141smh One suggestion was to call forward to yourself. On the dimension system we have if you try to call forward to yourself, you get the busy signal yourself. Also on any call forwarding you still get the beep to let you know a call was forwarded. Sorry, try again.

The place that I used to work got a dimension PBX system and there was a nifty thing (I forget what it was called) that would allow you to turn off all beeps and buzzes. It was the *5 function! This was used to prevent call waiting signals from comming to your phone. It was entered before you dialed the number. It was really nice for modem use. It did however only work for that conversation. After you hung up, things went back to normal. -- -Alan Edwards IX 1C-423 x0879 (ihuxl!kae)
