That depends on the switching equipment connected to your phone line. Older electronic switching systems make a click at each end of the tone. Newer equipment just has tones. In any event, where I am (Pacific Bell/California) you automatically get cancel call waiting with call waiting. Dialing *70 before dialing the number cancels it for that call. So in my dialing sequences on calls using my modem, they look something like: ATDT *70,555-1212 (The comma in there tells most modems to pause for a second or two before dialing the rest.)
