asterisk users - Mar 2003 - X100P + Modem line sharing problem!!

Hi,

I have a development * box setup with an X100P.. I only have 1
phone line so my Modem is on this line as well..

Looks like this:

PSTN => Modem(Line In)--Modem(Line Out) => X100P(Line In)

The problem is that the X100P seems to interact with the line
from time to time even when there is no activity on the * box.
This causes the the internet stops working..

So to use the Internet I have to disconnect the * box and then
I always forget to reconnect it which means that no one can call
me..

Is there any way to suppress whatever the X100P is doing so that
it only tries to pick up the line when a call needs to be made??

Thanks

Disconnecting and reconnecting the phone line would be easier than
that and I would probably forget to reload it just like I forget to
reconnect the phone line.. :)

I was hoping that there would be a setting that would do the trick..

I realize this doesn't exactly answer your question, but you could try a
$10 ish line isolator from Radio Shack that would cut the line off when
the modem is off hook... even if you did try to place a call through 
Asterisk it would follow the "every one is busy" route in your
extension
logic rather than cutting into your modem connection/conversation. 

Just a though.
