In response to the posts to my problem regarding my inabililty to get connected to my ISP with my PC on a separate phone line while my wife's PC is turned on, I have checked her PC and note she does not have any fax or other similar software waiting for calls. I have recieved a post suggesting I use but one line, and attach a splitter to it, and then run a line to each computer. I will try that in the next few days. I will post a resolution to this problem once it manifests itself. Thanks for your valuable suggestions so far.
