I was told by someone in the Illinois Bell service area who disables
Call Waiting regularly that the command is '#73'.  Seven-*three*?  I
need to confirm this before I make a recommendation to campus users
(in our _Academic & Public Computing Resource Guide_), and whoever I
asked at Bell was pretty clueless.

Help?

[Moderator's Note: You were given a bum steer. *73 turns off call
forwarding; it has nothing to do with cancelling call-waiting. And I
do believe *70 works as it should in the Hyde Park/Kenwood area of
Chicago, although I would not absolutely swear upon it. Of course, it
may not work on UC phone equipment. PT]
