The problem is caused not by the beep, but by the momentary loss of
carrier when the second call comes in.  It's true that you can
disable call waiting in some parts of the country, but not others.

If your modem can be set to disable hangup on loss of carrier, or
if you can set a longer time delay for it, you may be able to live
with the problem.  Personally, I have an extra phone line.
