I missed the original.  I assume it asks how to disable call waiting while
you are on the modem.

If anybody posts a message giving you a code to send before dialing
(touchtone "*70" and dial "1170" are popular ones), then promptly ignore
them.

The ability to suppress call waiting is a feature programmed at the central
office switch.  How to access this feature, and if the feature is even
available, will vary.  Therefore, the *only* people who can answer this
question are your telephone company.

Please look in the front section of your "White Pages".  The answer might
be there.  Otherwise, call your telco.  Your last recourse would be to
try the dozens of various codes people might post to find one which works
with your CO switch.
