Therefore, I have received zillions of the same old "just dial the *70 code" responses from people who were (understandably) assuming that I just wanted to know how to shut call waiting. Therefore, and because I feel that this will be an ever-growing problem to the computing community, I am reposting the original... ----------------------------------------------------------------- Forgive me if this has been discussed before, but I have a big problem using my modem given that my home phone line has the call waiting service. Yes, I know, when I CALL OUT, I can dial the *70 code to temporarily disable the call waiting. But, when I'm using our company's computer system, which has dial-back modems, the computer system ends up CALLING ME. Yes, I know, if you have 3-way calling (which I do), you can hookflash during the call, do the *70, and flash back again, but this would cause the remote computer system to think that the call was dropped due to a carrier loss. Does anybody know of any software/hardware solutions to the problem? Thank you. -- ----------------------------- Eric Wagner (wagnere@gtephx) AGCS (formerly GTE), Phoenix (602) 582-7150 UUCP: {ncar!noao!asuvax | uunet!hrc | att}!gtephx!wagnere
