Letter: Letters : Buzz off

Published 22 March 1997

From Haydn Williams

by e-mail

Your reference to the problem of losing contact with the Net when the call
waiting signal is received (Feedback, 8 February) struck a nerve. I get the same
problem when my apartment is buzzed from the entry phone in the lobby. And there
is no *70 solution for that. The only thing that I can think of is a crude
mechanical remedy—covering up my name with adhesive tape.
