when it receives a call - an intrusion if I'm on the primary line
talking on the phone.  So I disabled the modem in "Phone and

Printing failed on my XP SP3 system. Problems seemed to start soon after
SP3 loaded but that may be a co-incidence. At first seemed like a job was
stuck in the print queue which was at length cleared by stop/start of the
