  This fix isn't universal, unfortunately.  Some areas are just
set up so that call waiting will work, and have no way of disabling
it.  Some of the suburbs outside of Phoenix have this problem, and
the phoney company says it will be "quite some time" before the
necessary hardware is installed so that the disable will work.

  I like my fix the best - I called up Ma and said "Get rid of it!"
I hate call-waiting even with voice calls.
