Hilarious.

Sometimes because of area codes, etc. It's best not to check "disable
call waiting". Instead just put *70, in front of your regular isp
phone number in the regular field where that phone number is. That's
simpler and can be more reliable.
I use the win98 dialer too. I used to have 2 connectoids, one with
*70 and one without it, for those cases when I was expecting an
important call. But that won't work with v90 modems because the noise
suppression is so good that the call-waiting beep normally won't
interrupt the connection. OTOH, it seems to do so for you.
One was the default, but I put both connectoids on the quick launch
bar.
There is also Buzme and CallWave.
