How bout an unedited transcript? I, unfortunately, got cut off twice and thus cannot provide one as I had planned. Btw, do you or anyone else know what the AT command to ignore CALL WAITING signals is? And great job moderating! Paul

There is no AT command, but most phone companies turn it off if you dial *70, so change your dialing command from "ATDT" to "ATDT*70," and that should take care of you… — Dale L. Larson, Intangible Assets Manufacturing — INTERNET:dale@iam.com

Paul, the command to disable call waiting varies some with different phone companies. Ours is *70, but yours might be different. Best to check the phone book as I did. // John – (Flying via AutoPilot) \X/ Mercury@ins.infonet.net

Paul, I use ATDT*70W. The 'W' means to wait for a dial tone. In our area it is called Controlled Call Waiting. Sincerely, (Mr.) Gayle Lee Fairless 'Perfessor Fearless' from the Rocket City! via AutoPilot 1.03a

Paul, I use the prefix *70. Using touch tone dialing here is the AT command: ATDT*70,xxxnumber < note the comma is essential, it gives the pause needed while the phone system provides the second dialtone. In CA I discovered that to disable call waiting you had to pay extra for that feature to be enabled. Here in Delaware it is included as part of the service. You can also find the information in your telephone book. 🙂 Christopher

Included as part of the service? Jeese, I've got to pay over 5 bucks a month, and I only have it because right now it's necessary to me. Paul
