[X4U] Stopping incoming calls cutting you off during dialup

[Brett Conlon]

Hi all,

How does one stop incoming calls from disconnecting your dialup session 
when you have call waiting turned on on your phone line - other than 
constantly turning off then back on call waiting?

In the earlier revisions of OSX I remember checking a box somewhere in 
Network Preferences that stopped the Mac modem from hanging up when there 
were incoming calls. I haven't seen it for a while.

We have airport extreme running and up until recently we've not had any 
troubles. It was around the time that I changed ISP's that we noticed that 
we were being cut off with incoming calls. Could it perhaps be something 
with the new ISP's line or could it be how I've set up the airport?

Your thoughts are most appreciated!!!

Cheers,

Coj

ps. JIC, call waiting is where you're talking with someone and the line 
starts bipping when another call is coming in. You can then pick up that 
second line too.
