Vint02 @verizon.net	I need help please... I have had webtv since 2000-01 it's either Philips MAT-960 Classic V.34 2 MB 2 MB 2 MB 112 MHz R4640 or Philips MAT-965 New Classic V.90 8 MB 2 MB 2 MB 150 MHz RM5230 that I have. My question what kind of filter can I get for it so I can use the phone or have calls coming in as I'm on webtv at the same time on the same phone line too? And what would help to solve this problem? I have phone line filter for my dsl service (a different isp) to my pc but it doesn't help putting one of those filters on for where the webtv is plugged up at. All I'm asking what can I get or buy so webtv doesn't take up the whole line and I can't make calls or have them come in when webtv at use or updating itself.

Vint02 @verizon.net	reply to Vint02 Thx. Yeah I set it to call waiting I just wish it was something I could do like get a filter so it wouldn't take over the line and still be able to be on it and on the phone but I guess not. I know the new ones are called msntv, I hope you do more stuff with those but mines one of those old ones when it was still called webtv. And is there a technical reason why it clogs up the line the way it does? Such as it being so slow and old....

WebTV connects via dialup so there is no way around that..
