Hi all,
I just had a odd thing happen. I was on my landline talking when my handy (cell phone) rung. When I answered the handy my landline went to hell. Nothing but buzz and popps. I walked away about 2 meters and my landline was ok. Is this normal?

What sort of landline *PHONE* were you using? If cordless, .. yes, that is indeed a possibility.

Another possibility with a cordless landline (besides basic defectiveness and/or weak specifications) is if the battery is partially discharged and/or going defective, the lower available wattage could cause the phone's built-in H/W based filtering to start to go "in the tank". Result would also be in line with what you are seeing, and I have observed a similar effect in the past, when one of my cordless phones took a gradual dive.
