does anybody know of a modem string that will disconect the modem from the internet when a phone call comes through.
I think there might have been one in Netguide a while back but I missed it

thanx in advance

But if you have callwaiting, just set you computer not to dial *52 (which disables it), and the incoming call my interfere enough for your connection to be dropped.

I use Call Minder because it can take messages when the phone line is busy.
