Aptiva - How to disable call waiting in Windows Terminal

Applicable to: United States

The following instructions are for Microsoft Windows Terminal 3.00, 3.00a, and 3.1.

During a Terminal session, call waiting can be disabled by changing the Dial Prefix to ATDT*70,, in the Modem Commands dialog box from the Settings menu. Call waiting is a phone service feature that alerts you when another caller is calling you. This can disrupt the line during a data communications session, especially during a file transfer. Dialing "*70" (without the quotation marks) and waiting for a second dial tone before you dial a phone number will usually disable call waiting for the duration of the call.

NOTE: The procedure or code that disables call waiting may vary in some areas; check with your local phone company.
