Re: TNS question (probably dumb!)

["JEANETTE HOSKINSON" <JHOSKINSON@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Ours does not make any noise as it dials out, but when anyone dials in you do hear a tone for a few seconds.  It is not nearly as loud as most home modems.  It is not bad in a work area as long as it is not too near anyone.

If someone calls it by mistake on a voice line you hear weird tinny sounds, and can make out the "operator"  saying "if you would like to make a call....."

Ours is several years old, so perhaps the newer ones do not do this.

Hello,

We're just on the edge of ordering the TNS from III.  We're debating where it will go, and I realized I don't know if it will be a silent system, or will we hear it dialing?  I hear my own modem at home & it would drive me nuts if I heard it dialing all the time.  That info makes a big difference on whether it can be on a desk in our work area or needs to be in a corner of an unoccupied room.

Don't want to set up 4 phone lines & a PC, then drive everyone crazy!

Thanks for your help,
Carolyn
