What is Modem-on-Hold?
Many people use the same phone line for phone calls as they use when connecting to the Internet. When you are connected online your phone calls don’t get though. Modem-on-hold allows you to receive an incoming phone call without disconnecting from the Internet. You take the call and when you hang up the modem resumes the internet connection. This works in reverse, you can use the phone briefly while connected and keep your modem connection when you hang up. The modem provider provides a software application that controls this feature. Calls must be short (16 minutes or less), and you need to have Call Waiting from the phone company on your line for this feature to work.
