v.92 NetWaiting utility not working

I recently purchased Creative's External v.92 modem and it had the feature of Modem-On-Hold and to use that you must have Call Waiting (which I do) and have the installed program NetWaiting. So, I installed NetWaiting and ran the program. Then I dialed up hoping to successfully use NetWaiting to receive calls when dialed up, but NetWaiting said that I was still "Not Connected" even after I dialed up.

Why isn't NetWaiting working? I just downloaded the latest version and that doesn't work. If it matters, I'm using WinXP Pro. Thanks!

could it possibly be that both sides require this "NetWaiting"?
Maybe both you and your ISP has to have it for it to work?

there are many online services that will allow you to take calls while online. Usually it involves doing call forwarding (organized by them) to their number. Any callers while you are online will be forwarded to them, and a message pops up on your machine, asking whether you want to take the call or not. You can either hang up & have the call connected, or select from a bunch of pre-recorded messages to tell the person calling that you are busy, or to call back later, etc.

You're ISP needs to support V.92 in order to take advantadge of anything V.92 related.

Most ISP's dont.

Most will tell you they will when they dont.

at&t only supports v.90, but netwaiting is supposed to support v.90, too. so, it should work, right?

If it supports V.90 then it should be working.

The ISP have to support it, and you have to enable it in the config of you dial up service.

where am i to enable it, do you know? I'll go looking around. Hmm... *searches* where would it be...

you may try to go to your ISP website and search for V.92 or such and see what they say about it.

Okay, my area supports v.90 which netwaiting should work with (limited features, but still work). And, I've been talking to at&t and they dont' give much help. Anyways, when I run netwaiting it still says that I'm not connected (when I am).

Anybody?


Thanks!
