Not software, but I have a box called the Internet Alert 510. This sits
between the phone line and modem and detects the call waiting tone. When it
detects it, the box beeps, and you can pick up a phone (also connected to
the box) which disconnects the modem and connects the incoming call to the
phone line.

Cost me about 30 quid from http://www.ctl-bolton.com. You also need to pay
BT for call waiting obviously.

No connection with them btw, other than as a satisfied customer.
