Not unusual, but then the sound on the TPad started a constant, high-pitched alarm-like tone. Only by using the ThinkVantage [blue rectangle] button to mute the sound would it stop. I should also mention that, contrary to what some others have experienced, the 'ThinkPad On-Screen Display' tool works for me to raise/lower/mute the sound. This is why I instinctly pushed the 'mute' button. Was it a coincidence? Or was there really a cause-effect action here? Anyone else ever seen such a thing? I might expect the cordless phone to disrupt your Wi-Fi, but I've never heard of a feedback condition or an alarm sounding from the unit. Does your model have Bluetooth in it (there would be an icon next to the Wi-Fi indicator)? Naturally, the BT won't do you any good under OS/2 (yet - you never know when we may get support for BT), but the hardware could be awake... -- Lewis ------------------------------------------------------------- Lewis G Rosenthal, CNA, CLP, CLE Rosenthal & Rosenthal, LLC www.2rosenthals.com Need a managed Wi-Fi hotspot? www.hautspot.com Treasurer, Warpstock Corporation www.warpstock.org -------------------------------------------------------------
