Here's a puzzle for UK BT engineers and other UK telecoms folk. We have two phone lines, one for voice and one for the PC. The voice line is on the new exchange as it supports 1471 and other services. The other number is not, but will be changed over next month. My partner recently bought a second phone "HORIZON" IE-AH REN=1, and plugged it in upstairs, leaving the currnet phone and answermachine plugged in downstairs. The new phone's ringer just rings. Even if the downstairs phone and answermachine is unplugged the same happens. Same happens with an old BT Viscount phone plugged in. (The SONY SPP-50 seems fine though). This does not happen on the older line. Any suggestions? -- David Longley Longley Consulting London, UK Behaviour Assessment & Profiling Technology, Research, Data Analysis and Training Services, Small IT Systems http://www.longley.demon.co.uk
