Cook) Newsgroups: comp.misc Subject: call waiting and modems Message-ID: Date: 30 Jun 91 04:35:18 GMT Sender: usenet@murdoch.acc.Virginia.EDU Distribution: usa Organization: Academic Computing Center Lines: 10 I have an error-correcting microcom ax/2400c modem hooked to an Adm5 monitor and to my house phone that has call waiting. This phone is used by four other people. I am trying to find out if I can put my computer session on hold while the other call is answered. If not, what other options do I have? If I have to log out is there a way the modem could reply to my terminal with a message indicating that a call has arrived. This way I can save my work before it kicks me out or I logout. I hope this is not too confusing but as you can probably tell I am not familiar with modems or terminals. Thanks.
