 JA> You really need more RAM, for one...also, you DO know
 Hehehe, just got a strip of 32MB SDRAM from my friend for testing purpose
 on my OS/2 machine... running 64MB at 32MB SDRAM and 32MB FPRAM (lousy
 things!)... It is amazing... my computer runs quite a bit more efficiently
 when I load it up with apps and utils (usually about 15 at once... :) )
 Now, if I can only lenghten the testing period so that I can kept using
 thing thingy until I have the money to get another 128MB of RAM... :)
 JA> enough to disable call-waiting, right? No offense meant,
 JA> but not everyone knows to do this. However, it sounds more
 In Vancouver BC, the BCTel set the code to #70 for the call waiting
 disabling... when you are dialing, use this code sequence for easier
 dialing...
 ATDT#70W123-4567
 The "W" code in there told my Courier to wait for the tone to come back
 on before dialing again, and you should check your white pages (or whatever
 page that comes from the local teleco :) ) and use the code that they
 indicated there...

 JA> many thing it could be. I'd say take it to your favorite
 JA> tech and tell them what you told us.
 Some tech will test the thingy and say "absolutely" no problems, while
 the have absolutely no idea about what exactly to test, or how to find
 and test the problem, even with full instructions... (Warngin, some
 tech are rebadged salesman, do not, repeat, do not use their advice! :)
 I had to reinstall and reset a few cards in a computer where the tech
 told the owner "DELTREE ULTRASND" and whole bunch others... cause the
 CD and sound card to stop working REAL QUICKLY...)
 If anyone see those kind of techs, please, do the world a favour...
 make sure that they are not helping people to make their problem worse!
