| 14450 | 2001-06-21 23:03:00 | Can anyone expand on Juha's reply to the letter in PCWorld June 01 page 111 ref this subject? What is modem-on-hold? Do Telecom and Paradise support it? What is a V92 modem and where can you buy one in NZ? |

| 14451 | 2001-06-21 23:55:00 | as far as i know no isp yet has v92 support. v92 is basicly a fine tuneing of v90.it allows faster uploading(yes please), quicker dail out and a few new features such as modem on hold. modem on hold is so you can put the modem on hold so you can answer a phone call and then resume your internet without haveing to redail or log back on. dynalink have a v92 ready modem (ie firmware update required at later date). | Guest (0) | ||
| 14452 | 2001-06-23 09:10:00 | Hi Chris, In the absence of v92 and if you really mean you what to disconnect from the internet to answer incoming calls, try this theory. If you have the 'call waiting' option on your line it is normal to tell your modem about it so it can diable the option when it goes on line to the internet. If you omit to tell your modem about call waiting then it will not know to disable it and when you receive a call the 'noise' on the line will cause your internet connection to terminate. If it does it quick enough you may be in time to catch the incoming call before the caller gives up and hangs up. I have not tested this theory but would be interested in the results if any one has.
