[Then some ~idyot goes:...]

[Sad.  Anywayz...]

Steve,  I've heard on  one of  the modem/comm  newsgroups that if  you
disable  error correction, the modem  will actually take notice of the
S10 register and hang   up upon the  slightest  temporary-carrier-loss
(like it should act when S10 is low).  Give it a try!

Incidently <light-bulb sign>, is there any way to (or a known existing
device that'll) monitor the phone line and upon  detection of the Call
Waiting tone will flash a light indicating a call is coming through?

Shouldn't be too hard to build.
