Modem Dial Up Connection Dies When I Get a Call
pjam44
Newbie

Yes I still use a dialup connection to get on the Internet.  We live in the country and no good prospects yet for high speed.

Anyway, I get kicked off the Internet whenever anyone calls.  (Very annoying)

I believe it is from Call Waiting, am I right?

If I use *70 to turn that off before dialing out, how do I turn it back on when done?

Thanking you in advance,

Peter

*70 is for that one call only, not permanently

you must dial it before the call

so change your dialup internet access number to whatever it was before but add *70 before it

i think you may have been hitting *70 and then hanging up and then connecting ... that is not how it works.
