I don't know if there has been any ideas sent in reply to this yet, but it is possible that this user has an X2 modem (it makes a beep before the completion of a handshake to detect an X2 serving modem) or possibly a K56flex (although I've nbever connected using one befire).

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 (_|_)
