I was getting disconnected quite a bit until I discovered that the phone plugged in to another part of the house was sending pulses and dropping the line out.
However, still get disconnected now and again for no apparent reason - also Bigpond. T Tom Lewis, in beautiful Jervis Bay, NSW, Oz also on the Internet at [EMAIL PROTECTED] Family web site: http://www.users.bigpond.com/talewis/tklr_at_home.html
