Hmm.. My boss thinks about shutting his ISDN/POTS down, so It might be
therefore, my RC 2:237/9-11 should allways be answering, except for then

I see, but the problem isn't at your place.. I need to rewrite the stuff,
the problem is which I think I've been writing to you, is that Max doesn't
register if the caller is online or not, which confuses my communication
module.
