In SOME, but not all areas of montreal, there is a service offered to
people who already have call-waiting. It lets you DISABLE the call waiting
for the duration of your outgoing call.

To use it, you dial 1170 (or *70 if you have the * button) followed by the
number you are calling. Then, for the duration of that call only, people
who call you will get busy signals, and you will be uninterrupted. This is
very useful for modem connections.

If you get a busy signal instead of a dial tone after dialing 1170, this
means your area does not have that service. If you get a dial tone, you're
in luck!
