How can I set up call waiting while I am on the net by using dail up phone line?

Answer 1

This is a good program that I used when I was on dial up. It will let you know who is calling, and then you decide if you want to take the call. All you have to do, is put your friends and family's names in a list, with their numbers, and when the phone rings, it will recognize who it is, and a window will show up to let you know who is calling. It works great!!

Answer 2

You need to turn off call waiting while you are on line with a dial up. The beep beep signal will interrupt your on line connection and cause you drop offline. If you have a cell phone you can set it on top of your computer and tell important callers to call the cell if the line is busy on your home phone.
