Ok I setup a dialup network between my home computer and my laptop. Laptop has xp pro, home computer has xp. Since I only have one phone line in my home is there away I can get my modem to only answer when I try a dial up network and not when I get a phone call? Like maybe set it up so I can press 8 and then my computer will take the call.
Thanx for your time

P.S the modem on the home system Intel(R) 536EP 56k voice/fax modem
