Not yet - I only had a short time in which to do some quick tests. Although
what I can say is that if it >is< being contributed to by another
device on
the line, then it definately only does so when the Meteor is connected too.
- when the meteor is inactive, my phone behaviour is 100% correct, 100% of
the time.

Yeah, this is exactly what I did last night, sat in the study, I rangy my
home number from my mobile, and while the phones were ringing, I plugged in
& unplugged the meteor several times. Sure enough, every time I plugged
the
Meteor in, the ringing went haywire, and every time I unplugged it, it went
back to normal...
