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.
