You mean call waiting? I used to get bumped offline by incoming calls, but
the error correction on modern modems has gotten good enough that they
recover from the call waiting beeps...
There are a number of (apparently) standalone devices that have recently
come on the market which will detect incoming calls and let you put a dialup
link on hold for a certain amount of time. They look like they should just
plug right into the phone line without needing to talk to the computer, which
would make them OS-independent. Have you looked at any of those?
