Once your phone line is tied up surfing, no other call can get to you from the exchange so call waiting aside, there is no way your computer could disconnect for an incoming call. Call waiting signals will usually (but not always) cause your modem to drop the connection Cheers Billy *<8-{)	Guest (0)

These types of modems allowed you to use the internet and voice simultaneously but only one thing at a time. So maybe your modem has this capability.	Guest (0)
