My IBM computer is allways connected to my phone line through an adaptor, when some-one rings my phone and the computer is shut down, it turns itself on. Is this something to do with Windows ME. My Compac with win98 does not do this.

You thought you did but "modem auto-detect" and "Wake on Modem" are different.
