[pchelpers] Re: Modem Problems

in is "dial-up networking" phone number box he needs to preceede the phone
number with the code number to "cancel call waiting for one call".  Here the
code is *70        At my house the phone number to my isp is 890-1234 or
something like that.  so the phone number box for my connection to the
internet looks like this *70,,8901234

The commas are pauses.  Each comma pauses for x amount of time. (more
commas, longer pause) It takes a second or two for the phone company to
acknowledge the request to "cancel call waiting for this phone call", then
listen for the phone number.
