If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
DH and I just got call waiting (since he's working from home now), and have noticed an irritating quality -- if you don't pick up the call waiting, it just keeps ringing and ringing and ringing. The answering machine doesn't pick up, and the person on the other end never hears a busy signal. Our phone is an AT&T 2256/1256, and nothing in the manual seems to address this issue. Any ideas?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Don't you need voice mail to answer a call waiting call?

Do we? I've never had call waiting before, so I have no idea about these things. Damn. Well, at least it's another write-off, I guess.

I have yet to find an answering machine that will pick-up "call waiting". The only time I had this was when I had the phone company's voice mail.
I came home today and there were a couple of boxes on the doorstep - one was a TIVO box. Guess what I'm getting for Christmas?!?!? I went out Christmas shopping and pretended I never saw the boxes, so the giver (either my mom or my husband) had no idea I know. Squeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!

If you only have one line, the answering machine can't record anything other than what's happening on that line. Voice mail, OTOH, doesn't have to use the line to make a recording, since it's not on the end of the line.

Yeah, that makes sense. Drat.

Are you ready to be strong?
Hey, TiVo early adopters! My first-gen TiVo's remote is eating through batteries. I mean I have to change them like every 2 days now. Has this happened to anyone else? Do I need to get a new remote? And how do I do that?

Woe to the fucking wicked.
The TiVo Store at TiVo.com sells remotes.

Jessica,
you need voicemail and call waiting.
I love Sprint (I think I have complete sense) because it has call waiting, but it's kind of a weird call waiting. If I'm online, calls get forwarded to my cell phone and/or voicemail. If I'm on the phone talking, then call waiting kicks in I think.
Voicemail also gets sent to email so I get notification when I have voicemail.
