Modem On Hold

Using Modem On Hold

The Modem On Hold application comes configured to automatically launch when you start the computer, displaying an icon on the system tray. However, you can change this configuration. See “Configuring Modem On Hold” on page 25 for instructions.

Using Modem On Hold

The Modem On Hold application pops up the V.92 Modem On Hold dialog whenever an incoming voice call is detected, or you place an outgoing voice call while connected to the Internet. This dialog displays information about the call in a Call Status box.

Answering an incoming voice call

When the modem detects an incoming voice call during an Internet connection, the V.92 Modem on Hold dialog appears. The Call Status box indicates that a call is waiting. If you have Caller ID, the dialog also displays the phone number and identity of the incoming call.
