In the latest issue of Pacific Bell's "newsletter" a command called
"cancel call waiting" is discussed.  It will last for one phone call and
then must be reset.  It must be done before you make the call that you
want uninterrupted, unless you have 3-way in which case you can set the
cancel feature after you are talking  to the VIP  (very important
phonecall).

Obviously the feature of using this with 3-way is useless with a modem,
but the basic idea is a fine one.  The article mentioned this as good
for your computer phone calls as well.

"Cancel Call Waiting" coming to a central office near you (eventually.)
