I can disable call waiting when I call into a computer, but my work has a dial-back system, where I call in, type the password, then it calls me back at home. I can't type *70 before the call because the computer is calling me! There is supposed to be a way to disable call waiting on an incoming call by switching to the other line, typing *70, and then switching back to the first line. The problem is that whenever I try to switch lines by clicking, my computer glitches on the click and hangs up. Any solutions out there? -- ****************************************************************************** ** Paul Meyer (602)554-2078 ** "I remember reading somewhere that men learn ** ** Intel Corp.
