I don't have problems with interfering with other modems here, but there are other people using the phone. If someone else is on the line, my modem will hang up immediately without making any noises aside from the the clicks of going off hook and then back on hook. Maybe your modem doesn't understand this. I can also confirm what others have already said, that not dialing is not gaurantee that you will not crash your fathers connection. If I am on line and someone picks up the phone, the noise is often, though not always, sufficient to cause my connection to drop. HTH, Gerald
