I have a hayes compatable modem connected to the same phone line as my telephone. I also have the call waiting feature. When I am on line and an incoming call comes in, it clobbers my session. Somewhere, and it escapes me where, I found and used a command that was inserted, I believe, somewhere in the ATDT command that would block any incoming call and give the caller a busy signal just as if I did not have call waiting. This worked great but for some reason that to this day escapes me I removed it from my attention/dial command. I would be forever grateful if someone could tell me what I need to do to block these incoming calls. Many thanks in advance. Mike

This also works if you're using the line for voice, it's a feature of your phone company and not a modem command. (it works this way in AZ atleast.) This will temporarily disable your call waiting.

If you have touch tone.. ATDT*70,XXX-YYY -or- ATDT1170,,XXX-YYY for pulse ATD1170,,XXX-YYYY The *70 and the 1170 are actually not modem commands, but either tones or pulses send to the telco... works for voice too if you don't want to be interrupted. It resets after the call is over. Brendan G. Hoar bh1e+@andrew.cmu.edu Carnegie Mellon, Inc.

You can't > turn off call waiting on incoming calls, just outgoing. *70 works then... It _is_ possible to turn off call waiting on INCOMING calls, if you also have Three-Way Calling. Instead of having your modem auto-answer (S0 > 0), you need to look for RING messages or the RI lead and answer by command. Instead of just doing an "ATA", do this: "ATH1D,!,*70,;A". This causes the modem to go off-hook, hook-flash, disable call waiting, and then answer. On some central offices, it is necessary to put another "!" before the semicolon. -- Toby Nixon, Principal Engineer | Voice +1-404-449-8791 Telex 151243420 Hayes Microcomputer Products Inc. | Fax +1-404-447-0178 CIS 70271,404 P.O.
