Is there such a thing as a modem, and/or terminal emulation software, that could recognize call waiting, and buffer data while you answer the phone (or some such system?) If not, why not? Seems like a reasonable idea, providing that the call waiting beep could be made understandable and uniform around the country. Sure is cheaper than getting another phone line. I'm particularly interested in such a device for the Mac. I've never heard of any such system at all, however. Perhaps because the call waiting beep comes over phone transmission, rather than interrupting it. But you'd think Bell (or whatever the phone companies are now) could work around that.
