- You can, on most systems, answer the call, then flash, then dial 1170 or
- *70 to the new dialtone, then flash back to the original call. On some
- systems you need 3-way calling to do this, others don't require that.
-
- I've heard of answer scripts to do that, you need to do all that then ATA
- on the original call to give an answer tone. You have to accomplish all
- that in a time span that will not cause the originating modem to give up
- (it hears the ring go away, but the answer tone is delayed for the
- duration of your task).
