Well, I just recently got call-waiting with the "disable" option (only on my voice line, which I'm forced to use for data communications while I await settlement of the NYNEX strike for re-installation of my data line following a recent move), and find I can utilize it easily. For example, my L.sys entry for THE STORE! is: shop Any ACU 1200 *70,12019574646 "" \r\d\r ogin:--ogin:--ogin: shop (The "*70" part selects call-waiting-disable, and the "," specifies a pause, to wait for the bzzz-bzzz which confirms the disable.) Note that the call-waiting-disable feature is not available at all offices which provide call-waiting. -- Gary S.
