this is a summary of responses.

I received many (many!) responses (all by mail, Thanks to all who mailed.)
but they fell into a limited number of responses. 

Summarizing the most important one, most phone services with call waiting
feature have a temperary defeat mode accessed in my area code (519) by
first entering *70 then going on to dial your number. The defeat lasted the
length of the call. Most area codes will have a simillar feature as will
most local phone companies.

For Procomm specific users you just add *70 to the dial string, then two
commas and the the number to dial. This gives a delay for the phone to 
complete the defeat operation.

There you have it. Thanks again to all. Good luck to you and your modem :-)
