Hello people - its feiges here - with yet another dillemma with the phone lines..... first of all, I would like to publically thank all the poeple who have spent the time to help me build phone in-use lights..... WE still have to get the parts to build them, but once they are built - they will really be helpful thanx again... Now, we have two phone lines... It seems to me that when people are on both lines - the person on one line can faintly hear the person on the other line talk - and visa versa... We have a lot of wiring around our apartment - and usually, both phone lines are carried through the same wire (ya know - one line on the inner two leads and one line on the outer two) It seems that the less wiring we have around the house (we've done some expirements) the more the problem seems to go away (the other voice gets fainter) ---- so I figured that it might be that a conversation going on on one line can be "inducing" an electric current to get the echo on the other line...... but then, all I had to do was add a lot of wire to JUST ONE LINE of our two phone lines and that also made the problem worse.. so I dunno what the deal is... anyways.... is this a common problem????? Is there a common solution??? if its not a common problem is there still a solution???? Its kinda annoying whne one person is talking on one line while the modem is on the other ---- it doesnt seem to affect the modem though --- not so far anyways..... Also, we have had two modems going on both lines - and it seems to me that nothing is affected as well.... real wierd please let me know what you think.... and thanx much Howard Feiges feiges@cae.wisc.edu TPK
