If this is dial up were talking it sounds like the call waiting is not disabled. If it is dial up then your living a miserable existence man. Get DSL or Cable man!!!

He has high speed, via the ethernet cable (preferred) or usb cable.. but when people change over from dial up, they forget to remove the phone cable from their 'puter, therefore windows will ALWAYS show the connection, for internet access, which can cause issues....

Oh man, I'm a comp. and printer techy also. You don't want to listen to my horror stories of what kind of customers I get.

I remember this one time a customer called in and told me that his comp. wasn't powering on. I told him it was the power supply. He said his power supply works perfectly. Then I ask him again to unplug his power cord, plug it back in, and to make sure he didn't accidentally turn off the power switch to his power supply. Well about 30 minutes on the phone with this moron, he thinks I'm wrong about his power supply. I told him to bring it into my shop and I'll check if it's the power supply. I told him I'm wrong and it's not the power supply, I'll replace whatever part for him for free and free labor. Well, 30 mins. later he came in with his computer. I went back into my warehouse and found an extra power supply from a computer I stripped down 2 months ago. Went back and install it and behold the computer boots up. The guy was shock and I sat there looked at him with a stupid face. I told him that's gonna cost $50 for the power supply + tax + labor = $175. Talk about easy money right there. I fix that **** up in less than 10 mins. LOL!!!
