Call Waiting - Line Sharing

Line Sharing

Since the waiting call creates an audible signal (for example, a 440 Hz beep every ten seconds in North America), call waiting can cause dial-up Internet access connections to terminate, unless the modem supports the most recent V.92 modem standard. For this reason, call waiting is often disabled on shared voice/data telephone lines.

    “The meaning of the Street in all ways and at all times is the need for sharing life with others and the search for community.”
