- When I am online to an ISP and somebody makes a voice call and If I
- subscribe to "call waiting", the signal will cause my carrier to drop.
- Will the new voice modems recognise this signal and display on my
- screen? What software supports this? Do I need a DSVD modem? Does my ISP
- have to have a DSVD modem? How does the "call waiting" signal come
- through? Is it just a beep? I have browsed the USR and Winfax sites with
- limited success.
