- All humor aside, if you do not disable call-waiting, the tone will
- probably disrupt any session you're in anyway. If you really don't
- mind losing whatever you're doing on-line to answer the phone, just
- don't disable call-waiting. When you get knocked off your connection,
- simply "flash" the hook, and you should get the other call.

- I have a modem that recognizes Distinctive Ring, CallerID, and Toll
- (Bong) tones, a PPI 288LCD, but I've never heard of one that will
- switch you over to the second caller.
