- Just put the code to disable the Call Waiting in the modem dial string in
- your comms program, so that each time originate a call from the modem, it
- disables call waiting. I'm not sure what the code is, but in many parts of
- the US you dial *70 and then wait for another dial tone, so you would make
- the dial string something like :
- ATDT *70,
- so that each time you made a call, it disables it!!!
