Call waiting generally by the telephone switch temporarily connecting your
line to a tone generator (and putting a 1/4 second hole in your
conversation).
For many modems, this is enough to drop carrier and cause a disconnect.
(Several years ago I had this trouble on the company phone system until I
requested that call waiting be disabled on my line).
	You are likely to find call-waiting a great annoyance unless you get
few calls.
