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.
