There is a solution. Get three-way calling service. Before you call the host, call up a number that is always busy. Every area has these. Or call a number that won't answer. This defeats call waiting. At least it used to in NYC. Then call the host.

I have heard that this *70 doesnt work in Canada but I dont know this for sure. -- ------------------------- Jay Mitchell ihnp4!ihuxz!ajaym -------------------------
