- a) I've seen some widgets advertised in hi-tech catalogs that
- help prevent this kind of thing. Look around. I don't know any
- specific place to point you to but I'm pretty sure they exist.
-
- b) tell those people not to pick up the other phones
-
- c) get your modem its own phone line. This is the ultimate
- solution of choice for the serious telecomm user.
