It's not the modem that needs changing, but the computer and terminal/workstation
software that needs changing.  Call waiting will interrupt the carrier for
2 seconds.  If the DTEs will maintain DTR when DCD drops for a period of
two seconds or less, most modems will maintain the connection. though with
a two second noise burst.  It would be even nicer if the terminal or
computer notified you that there was a Call Waiting interruption, so
that the operator could decide whether they wanted to answer this particular
call.
