Lewin EdwardsEdwards was raving on in AUST_MODEM about digital phone lines:
LE>>> Yes it will, and most PCMCIA modems these days will go
LE>>> "bleeeeeeeeeeep!!!" when you plug in 
TB>> I can say that the older Netcomm PCM modems don't do this. 

 LE> Older PCMCIA modems, period, don't have a warning, because it
 LE> wasn't an issue when they 
 LE> were designed.

I would have thought that since digital PABXs have been around for quite
they would've engineered for this. Could also have been the high cost of
developing the PCM modems in the first place made them cut a few corners.
