  I hope this is the right place to post this, I don't read either of these
groups.
  I have just purchased a terminal and modem, and I am worried about becoming
impossible to get a hold of while logged in. I don't want to pay to have a 
second line installed, because it is a rented apartment and I may be moving
soon. I was considering getting Call Waiting from the phone company, but I
need to know if 1) This will interfere with correct operation of the modem
when the wait signal comes through; and 2) Is the wait signal detectable (i.e.
does it print garbage on the screen). If anyone has any experience with this
I'd appreciate hearing about it. Please *mail* me responses and if there is
anything really interesting and/or there is enough expressed interest I'll
post a summary of responses. Thanks much.
