Hi Alan, I thought he was refering to that too, but notice he says the beep is before the negotiation, just after the dialing. Bye for now.

from a friend who *might* have cause to believe he is bugged. this is coming from a .au domain, btw.
Sounds like he has a 56k modem and his ISP just upgraded to the same sort of 56k modem he has. That is part of the protocol negotiation. (In the future, it will take 30 minutes to finish connecting with a modem, but we will all get 666k transmission speed over normal phone lines.)
thanx,

Yo tat,
I got pgp 5.0. which will not work with your version. Upgrade man :-)
Oh well I'll tell ya without pgp. It's not that much of a problem the question I wanted to ask you (well I hope it's not).
Anyway, what I wanted to ask you is whether you might know why I'm
getting
a very DISTINCTIVE beep when I connect with my modem to my ISP. The beep(only once) comes just after the initial dialup and just before all the noise you get before the connection.
Sounds wierd and it only started 2 days ago. I never heard a connection like this before and I'm wondering whether my phone line is being tapped.
Any suggestions ??
XXXXX
P.S. Just in case my mail is being read by someone other than Tattooman..here's to you (_|_)
