NOTE: Having these settings incorrect have been known to cause false busy signals. Also, if you have call waiting disabled when you dial up, the person calling will only recieve a busy signal. If call waiting is not being disabled when dialing up, the chance they have in knocking you offline depends on the quality of your modem and phone line. There is no guarantee that you will be disconnected when a call comes through.
