| 68130 | 2002-08-04 13:01:00 | lol get call waiting, if someone calls you up half the time it disconnects your net connection and you can pick it up (v90) and yes there is its part of the v92 standard, which is not currently supported by any isps i know off. this has something that pauses your net so if you downloading something and get a call you can use the phone for up to 15 mins before it cans your connection hope that helps |

To utilise this would mean new software at the ISP end and there seems no inclination for them to spend millions on their systems, after all what would they gain? |

| 68133 | 2002-08-04 23:35:00 | Remember, the V90 protocol puts calls on suspend each end, so you would be tying up their resources even while suspended. For this reason cant see it happening, nobody would disconnect ever, all on flat rate accounts. | godfather (25) | ||
| 68134 | 2002-08-04 23:35:00 | Make that V92 protocol. | godfather (25) | ||
