if the modem manages it to keep the connection when a second call
comes, i don't see any possibility. by the way: if you download a 3mb
file and you are at 98% and the modem disconnects because an
"important" call is coming, is this the real thing?

i think the best solution is to TURN OFF the damn "anklopfen" (don't
know how to say that in english). if a someone calls in, he gets
the busy tone, and he knows, that you are at home and you are serving
around another time and he will try again later. but if the "second dial"
is enabled and your modem keeps the connection, the caller gets the
normal ring tone and thinks youre not at home....


so i turned that offfff.....
