- Well, I suppose you could always set your dialing string to be :
- atdt*43#,;^Math^Matdt
- though you would still have to remember to turn it back on afterwards. If all
- else fails setting the modem so that it doesnt hang up until it has had, say,
- 3 seconds without a carrier (using one of the S settings) should work too,
- and it would just result in you getting a bit of line noise whenever the
- call waiting flash occured.
