91816	2002-10-22 20:21:00	Hi, I have call waiting. Sometimes phone calls get through while on the net & sometimes not. When they do come through of course I get disconnected. I have ME, & in the tools thing somewhere the *52 is not enabled. Is this a Telecom peculiarity? Pauline.	Pauline (641)

If you put *52 in front of the dialup number for your ISP this diaables call waiting and when someone calls your number when you are on the internet they will get an engaged signal instead of a ringing tone and of course your modem will not disconnect.

91818	2002-10-22 21:17:00	>>> Is this a Telecom peculiarity? Nothing to do with Telecom. You're modem isn't supposed to disconnect, just sometimes they do. It's not an advanced feature or anything. New modems are coming out that can support call waiting, but I dont' think any ISPs in NZ support this yet. Mike.	Mike (15)

That will cost a lot of money, so it won't be done until equipment has been written off, or the customers complain enough, or one ISP splashes out in the hope of capturing a lot of new customers ffrom the opposition. ;-)	Graham L (2)
