Uhh...Andreas, if you pick up the phone when you are online, you are
interrupting a very precise signal that is traveling over the phone
lines and you will get disconnected! .
But I assume that the phone is connected to the back of the modem, eh?
The modem should "turn off" the phone when it goes off-hook. Sounds like
you may have a defective modem.
Do you have Supra's E-mail address? I don't know it off of the top of my
head, but I'm sure some friendly sole would be kind enough to give you
the address.
