Nope.  You might be able to configure the remote modem to ride out a 
short, temporary interruption (like the Call Waiting beep itself), 
but if you try to make to wait through switching to another call, it 
will surely drop the line.  If this happens to you frequently, your 
best bet is to install a second phone line.
