In our offices it takes a special request to our in-house communication 
office to get it removed. You did not meniton if it was the Phone Co.'s
call waiting or an in-house one. Our system will allow us to re-direct 
any calls that come in while our phone is busy to another phone. When I
use this feature, any incomming call while I am using my modem are re-directed
WITHOUT causing the data-destroying beep on my line.
