John,

First thing is to make sure all the drivers are properly installed.
 Second, verify that your friend has call waiting.  Third, make sure
his/her ISP is using V.92 modems.  At this point, most are still using
V.90 which make the features useless.  Most V.92 modems also use a new
handshake protocal (I believe it's V.14) that reduces connect time by
almost 50%.  I switched over to V.92 and changed ISP's at the same time.
 I later switched my wifes computer to V.92.  My modems a cheap BestData
and works great.  The one I put in hers is a Zoom and it's junk.  It's
going to be replaced soon.

I understand that this new V.92 version allowed you to be online and still able to use the phone for certain times. But I was unable to figure out how to set it features. Any help from anyone who know how to set this feature would greatly appreciate.
