No, there are other devices on the same line (fax machine, other computers,
etc.) and when I try to dial, if there is no dial tone, it tells me it
fails, but when it hangs up, the other computer (or fax machine) is cut off.
I would just like to check for the dial tone before dialing, but without
cutting the other devices off.
I will look around some-more. Thanks for info.
Regards,
Nathan
