Is it a "trick" question? You can buy some kind of extra added service from Ma
Bell that will buzz/click/light a light/-- something -- to let you know that
you have an incoming call while you're already talking to someone. What's the
name of the service -- Callus Interuptus, or some such ??? :-) Seems like a
neat idea to me if a modem could sense such a signal and flash a message
on one's screen. 'Coure it would take some designing to make a modem that
could do this.
