I am trying to *make* my modem disconnect when a call waiting beep comes in. I know most people have just the opposite problem, but I want my modem to disconnect when another call comes in so I don't miss any calls. I am using a generic 56k modem that came with my computer, its a ViVa Commcenter 56. Suprisingly the modem manages to keep the connection when another call comes in 90% of the time. I've tried changing the init string (turning off flow control, turning of error correction, etc.) to weaken the connection, but nothing seems to work. Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks...

The only thing that may work is to make the value in S10 smaller. You run the risk of other unexplained disconnects, though, and it _stilll_ may not disconnect on "call waiting". There are add-on devices available to solve your problem, though. Rick (remove X from e-mail address)
