Is it possible to talk to the administrator of the system that
you're calling to include "*70" along with your telephone number?
I've never had to deal with a dial-back security system but short
of getting conference line capability, it seems to be the most
logical way to deal with this call-waiting problem.  Of course,
if the remote's modem can't dial "*" or have more than 11
characters as the phone number, you're out of luck.
