Taking a phone call while you're online
Windows Vista, XP and 2000 users: Your modem includes the
NetWaiting™ Modem-on-Hold™ program, which notifies you when you
have an incoming telephone call and lets you put your Internet
connection on hold while you take the call. Netwaiting is installed
automatically as part of your modem software installation.
Note: If you want to use Modem-on-Hold, your Internet Service
Provider (ISP) must support the V.92 dial-up modem standard. You
can contact your ISP if you are unsure about this support. Also, you
must have Call Waiting/Caller ID service from your telephone company
to use the modem’s Call Waiting/Caller ID feature.
