Nobody's mentioned Call Waiting, or Divert on Busy, or any of the other
BT wonder-options that announce themselves with a squinky Dial Tone, and
confuse the hell out of modems.

But if it is one of these, then

is still the best advice.

Can't think DL would buy any of these services from BT though.

They would be new, full price, working properly and fully documented,
any one of which would be such a radical departure from the Longley
canon as to rule it out of court.

So it *must* be the modem :-)
