Most telephone exchanges will now accept *70 from a touchtone phone
or 1170 from a rotary phone as prefix to the number you are dialing.
This will turnoff the call waiting for the duration of the present
call.  Dialing *70 or 1170 will get a quick drop of dialtone and
then a secondary dialtone. Dial your number.  
	I.e: *70 <pause> NNX-XXXX
If you use a dialing directory or script language with your communications
program, use a comma in the directory entry for the pause in the number
dialed.
