Talking about callwaiting dumping modems, beacuse they interpret the boop to be
a break...

On my modem (Novation Smartcat+) which I have found to have an excellent hayes
compatability, I am informed that the S10 value (Time between loss of carrier
and hangup) is only used in the 300bps mode. Is there a way to avoid being
dumped at 1200 ? (As far as I am aware, our phone company doesn't offer dis-
abling call waiting.) Do *real* hayes use this value at any speed ? Even 2400?
