Sounds like a very frustrating problem. Are there any other computers hooked
into the same phone line when you hook in your powerbook? When I was
housesitting at a friend's house, I had to go downstairs and unplug the
phone line out of her computer before I could use the same phone line
upstairs with my Duo. I never figured out "why" I had to do that, but it
would not work unless I did.

Just another idea,
Laura
