my friends have been complaining about my home phone very hard to get
through, since I have been dailing-up from home to my work station at work 
a lot.

I know there is a phone service "CALL WAITING", while you are on the phone,
if someone is trying to get through, it will give you a beep tone.


my question is: is there a way while the modem is using the phone line, 
the modem can detect the CALL-WATING signal, and warns you somebody is trying
to call you??


thanks in advance for any response.
