In a message on  Has anyone had trouble with modems dropping out while they are on 
 SM> the same line as one of those Telstra touch tone phone things, 
 SM> 200r I think it is but, anyhow anyone had that trouble ?


Anyone? How about EVERYONE :-)


The early T200 touchtone phones (the ones with a flat membrane keypad) drew
current from the line about every 20 minutes. It they are on the same line
as a modem, and a modem call is in progress, the modem will almost always
drop out.

Later T200 phones (with buttons on the keypad) are said to be OK.

John
