If you have a stuttered dial tone (dial tone going on and off rapidly), this means you have a new voice mail message. You can still make and receive calls as normal; it's just there to alert you that you have new messages. Other than that, some phone systems use it to alert you that you have a calling feature currently activated such as call forwarding. Usually the stuttered dial tone only lasts for a few seconds before going continuous when it is in regards to a calling feature. If call forwarding was currently activated, you could still place calls as normal, but incoming calls would be forwarded to the number you had specified when setting up call forwarding. Since these calling features generally require your intervention to turn on, I'd say the voice mail scenario is the most likely.

Also, your question is not very clear. Just another answer for you to consider. If you meant that you get a call waiting beep and you click over and the dial tone stutters 3 times and then goes steady, this means that your calling party has hung up before you got the beep. It is the prompt you get for making a 3-way call. Hopefully your scenario is one of the ones I had mentioned or perhaps a combination thereof and this information can prove to be helpful to you.
