In article <40691@linus.UUCP> carlson@murpho.mitre.org (Bruce Carlson)....

If you are using a touch tone system, then the usual code to disable
call waiting function for this call is *70
if you have got only the rotory system then try 1170
it works for me. ( I have US West Communications " Pacific NW Bell " here )

This suggest that if you are using a Hayes comp. ( I assume ) modem with
touch tone system then the modem initial string would be somthing like
this    ATDT*70,,

Hope this would be of some help. But pleaase check with the telephone
company if this fails.

Sincerely,
