If you want to be able to receive a phone call while you're online
Windows 8, 7, 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 installation.
Note:
If you want to use
Modem-on-Hold
, your Internet Service Provider (ISP) must support the V.92 dial-up modem standard. 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.
You must start
Netwaiting
yourself before connecting to the Internet or you can set up
Netwaiting
to start automatically when Windows starts. For
more details about
NetWaiting
, refer to that program's help.
If someone calls while you are online, the
NetWaiting
dialog opens, offering three choices.
