CA 2138565
A method for having a modem use the call waiting feature by placing the data connection on hold while the user uses the telephone is invented. A device which can detect the call waiting signal and upon detection display a message on the user's monitor that there is an incoming call waiting for him\her to answer is invented. A "Line Monitor" will be placed between the incoming telephone line and the modem. When there is a data connection, and a person attempts to contact the modem user by telephone, the device will intercept the call waiting signal and place a message on the users screen. If the user decides to answer the incoming call, the user will then type a command and both modems are placed on hold for a predetermined amount of time. Then the user can pick up the telephone and respond to the call. When the user is finished with the telephone call he\she will then hang up and another command is entered to re-establish the modem connection.
