A while back I saw a thread that descibed how I could turn off call
waiting while I am using my modem.  What I would like to know, if the
person I am calling has call waiting also, can I turn his feature off
also?

Thanks in advance,

Mike 


[Moderator's Note: No you cannot. It is up to the person who owns the
line to decide what features he wants on or off. If he doesn't
understand that modems and call-waiting are incompatible, that is his
problem.  PAT]
