Richard, thanks for reply. I have dial up window xp and also call waiting. I
used to get phone calls notification on the screen until Jan.05 then I got a
new computerand now I do not hear the phone ringing while logged on internet.
I have disabled *70 but it acts as if it is still there. I do not mind
getting disconnected when someone calls my home phone. I do receive calls
when not in the computer.
I have called my ISP and my phone co. but they can not help. Does everyone
gets calls while on the internet if they have call waiting? let me know.
Thanks
