The following "User Instructions for the W3C Zakim Teleconference Bridge" (from http://www.w3.org/2002/01/UsingZakim) might be helpful in controlling extra phone noise on our calls: Muting your audio At any time during the conference you can prevent the conference from hearing any sound from your phone by pressing 61#. (The mnemonic is 'Mute' On=1; '6' corresponds to the 'M' key on appropriately marked telephone keypads.) You will hear three rapid high pitched tones as a confirmation. If you are on a particularly noisy connection (an analog mobile phone for example) this mute will have better results than a local mute button on your phone, since the local mute button only turns off your local microphone without stopping noise introduced by the phone connection. Unmuting your audio After using the sequence above to stop your audio you can turn your audio back on by pressing 60# ("Mute" off=0). The confirmation that the bridge has accepted this command is three rapid low-pitched tones. The other participants in the conference will not hear these tones; they will only know you unmuted your line by hearing background noise from you. - Shawn
