I am surprised as well.
I mean, we know that a personal computer when left on can in fact dial
up automatically, but a Braillenote cannot.
You're right, it is a "soft" off, in that for example, if you were
writing a document, and you turn the machine off, when you turn it back
on you are exactly in the same place in your document.
Could this be phone company error?  Here in the states I have heard of
phone companies billing dead people for thousands of pounds.

Richard, many thanks for getting back so quickly.

I noticed that the, and your comment seems to confirm, braillenote's 
toggle switch is a 'soft' on/off power switch which does not completely 
shut off power to the unit.  If it was a 'hard' off then you would not 
get information on AC status.  Am I right?

Yes, it was always plugged in.

Again, yes.  And some of these calls were made when no one was there.

I am totally flummoxed

Regards
Simon
