- Does anybody know if it is possible to share a modem connection
- with a voice connection on one single telephone line?
-
- Imagine that you have a modem connection active (SLIP/PPP connection or
- whatever) then somebody calls you, and instead of getting a busy tone, the
- modem/computer should alert that you have an incoming voice call and then
- allow you to switch to the voice connection. After the phone call is
- finished
- you should be able to switch back to your SLIP/PPP connexion.
-
- This is similar to a common service "Call wait" that Telia in Sweden provides
- for free. But that handles only two voice connections.
-
- Can somebody help me here?
