Try your local phone company.  Some of them offer a service that allows
you to turn off call waiting by dialing a special sequence.

This posting reminds me of a guy I work with.  At a previous job he
only had one modem on his computer.  The only people who called the
number were Paul and his co-worker.  Fortunately for Paul, the
co-worker had call waiting.  Whenever the modem was busy, all Paul
did was call the other guys phone which immediately knocked him off
the line and freed up the modem.  :-) I don't think the other guy
ever knew what was happening to him.
