(Sigh.  Time to post this, I see.)

Call waiting is a feature offered by your local telephone company.  As
such, the methods by which it is enabled and disabled are local to your
telephone company.  Therefore, asking the entire world (via USENET) how
to disable call waiting is counterproductive: the answers you get from
Australia are not likely to apply to the French telephone system, and
the way it is done in Korea is probably different than the way it is
done by New York Telephone.  Instead, you should ask your local
telephone company.  They provide the service; of all people, they ought
to know how it works.

That said, many U.S. telcos seem to use the code `*70' (or, from dial
phones, 1170) to disable call waiting.  If this does not work for you,
ask your local telco office.  If all else fails, you can always get
another phone number.
