I connect the phone to my modem, and the modem to the telephone line. Everything is fine when I'm using my phone normally. The fun comes in when I push the "data" button on the modem. This seems to disconnect the phone from the line. Unfortunately, the memory for the last-number- redial seems to need power; it forgets when I push the "data" button. I've been thinking of getting a better phone (one of Panasonic's "Easa-phones") that has a bunch of remembered numbers, and was wondering whether I would have the same problem of forgetting numbers? Is there some way around this? I used to have the phone and the modem in parallel and would sometimes have problems with noise, especially when I hung up the phone. -- ---------------- Marty Sasaki net: sasaki@harvard.{arpa,uucp} Havard University Science Center phone: 617-495-1270 One Oxford Street Cambridge, MA 02138
