This doesn't work the same everywhere (I don't know about Ontario), but for
some systems, you can cancel call waiting by dialing *70 before placing
your call.  It's effective for just one call; after that, call waiting is
enabled again.

Don't know if this is possible; it's that "click" on the line that knocks
Procomm off.  I think your best bet is to disable it.
