You can go into the Airport Base Station utility and change the channel it is using which will work for now. The problem is that the phone is using roughly the same channels the Airport is using and it can jump from one to another and eventually hit the same channel you are using for Airport or an adjacent one and interfere. Airport uses only the channel you select while the phone can rotate through all of them. If the phone has a channel select button try pushing that, possible a couple of times. That will keep you clear until the phone rotates through the channels again. Thank the FCC for allocating frequencies to be used by anyone for anything. You would think the phone would notice the channel is in use (even if it just sees it as "noise") but apparently it's common for them not to. You might be able to set an Airport channel that isn't used by the phone but I wouldn't lay money on it. -- Clark Martin Redwood City, CA, USA Macintosh / Internet Consulting [EMAIL PROTECTED] "I'm a designated driver on the Information Super Highway" -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
