Is there any way to get a call waiting indication other
than the standard short beep. It would be great if it
could be made to ring the phone bell, light a light, or
even just give a longer tone on the handset.

The issue is that I use a modem on my only line and I 
would like to know when incoming calls are coming in.
My new modem (trailblazer) fights through the call waiting
beep without a flicker, so I can't tell.
