Can Xtreme take advantage of “Call Waiting”?
Answer
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Yes. In order for Xtreme to offer an advantage for users with Call Waiting capabilities on their telephone line, they must be using modems that support the Call Waiting function.
How Call Waiting Works Today…
In its most basic sense, Call Waiting allows a person to be notified that there is an incoming call when they are already using the phone line for another purpose.
In the case of Internet usage, Call Waiting would allow a person to be surfing the Internet, and still be notified that a call is coming in. When the incoming call is picked up, the Internet connection is dropped. While inconvenient, especially if downloading large files, the point to be made is that “you won’t miss a call”. After completing the voice call, the user would then need to manually re-establish the connection to the Internet.
