	I was able to disable call waiting ONLY on outgoing calls,
which is when my modem placed the call, NOT when some computer calls
my modem.  What I did was dial *70 before the phone number I was
calling, and this tells the phone company that for this call you're
placing right now, call waiting should be disabled, and re-enabled
after you hang up.  But as I said before, if another modem places a
call to your modem and you're receiving/transmitting data and a call
comes for your phone, you'll be disconnected.
