Call Waiting for Computer
I have a computer to myself I have dial up internet. I can't seem to get call waiting for it. Whenever I am online, it blocks any phone calls and my whole family complains that they are missing phone calls because of me being online. I don't know if I can get call waiting at all. My dad says we can't for some reason, but we have call waiting otherwise, like on our phone line we have it, so why can't we get it for the computer and being online. I was wondering, does it matter was kind of computer you have or does it matter what ISP you have. Is there any way I can allow it to kick me offline when someone calls?

You would have to get Road Runner or MSN. i have road runner and it works great. the only problem is that it costs a lot more a month because you now have a seperate line for your phone. talk to your family about it..and if they dont mind having to spend more..then everything should be fine. hope i helped=]

dial up (in my exprience) will always holdup the phone line the only way i know you can get rid of your problem is if you get broadband, because broadband uses a different line from your home phone. hope that helped.

Nope. It basically overrides your phone line, so if someone calls it cant get through and says its busy. Maybe you can get together with your family, and only be on certain hours, and then have your familys friends and work associates call during the hours your offline? It seems a good way to make everyone happy.
