In regards to modems such as BOCA's "TIDALWAVE 56K" how would the 
following sentance be interpreted, "... allows you to answer an incoming 
telephone call and when the call is complete, it takes you back to where 
you were on the web."? 
Is it stating that you can answer an incoming telephone call on the same 
line that you are actively using to brows the web? If so does this system 
actually work with a single line connection the way call waiting does in 
regular telephone operations or does it require the two modem setup (ie. 
Diamonds "Shotgun" technology)?

Info is much appreciated.
