Waking from sleep when phone rings

Julian - 04 January 2005

My PowerBook wakes from it's well-deserved sleep every time the phone rings. I am on a Broadband connection using a SpeedStream modem.

Is there anything I can do about this?

earplugs

but really, is there a phone line attached to it, presumably for faxing? --
