Hi, my friend's on dial-up (with Mac 10.5x). His problem is that his Internet connection fully drops whenever someone calls him. Bell has no solution for him, except maybe for a second line installed (50.00/mth).

He's hoping that there's a program that will alert him (on computer) that a call is trying to come thru (like a call-waiting or something), then he could decide whether to accept or decline the call (then call back later).

Anything like that available?

Thanks.

He can just disable call waiting (*70 before the phone number).
