Where I live (Cambridge, MA) we have what is known as selective call waiting
(via New England Telephone).  This allows you to turn off call waiting for
the next call that you make.  It is a sequence of buttons on the phone.  So
all that I had to do was enter this sequence via the modem before entering
the phone call and then call waiting was disabled for that call.  It is a
nice feature.  Talk to your local phone company to see if they support it.
