Greetings,

I'm using Remote Access Service on a Windows NT server to allow me to 
dial in from home.  My home PC is running Windows 95 and I have a new
Sportster 28.8/33.6 in each machine.  
I've updated the modem.inf files and everthing is working like a 
charm.

BUT, I have one problem.  I would like to use the dial-back 
capability in the Windows NT server so that I can have my office pick 
up the cost of the call.  My problem is that I have CALL WAITING at 
home and I can count on being beeped just when I'm doing something 
crucial.

Is there an answer string that will disable call waiting?  Call 
waiting can be disabled on my system by using *70,  which works fine 
on out going sessions.

I've tried several combinations using flash hook (!) to try to switch 
over on answer, dial the *70, then switch back but no success.

Thanks for any help.
