[comp.misc] call waiting and modems

	I have an error-correcting microcom ax/2400c modem hooked to
an Adm5 monitor and to my house phone that has call waiting.  This
phone is used by four other people.  I am trying to find out if I can
put my computer session on hold while the other call is answered.  If
not, what other options do I have? If I have to log out is there a way
the modem could reply to my terminal with a message indicating that a
call has arrived.  This way I can save my work before it kicks me out
or I logout.  I hope this is not too confusing but as you can probably
tell I am not familiar with modems or terminals. Thanks.
