I can't answer your second question, but the first one is easy. Hardly
anyone at bell knows of the existance of this service!! When I inquired
about it, I got transferred to 5 people before I finally got someone who
knew what I was talking about. It's not a very popular thing to ask about,
since the people who don't use modems only rarely think such a service is
useful.

>2) Why didn't they remove the service when I requested it?

Maybe since they're not charging you for it, it doesn't show up on their
computer when they try to list all of your special services... wwho knows.

I had the same problem last year when they were offering that service for
free. I called to have it removed as you, but I still kept getting
disconectted when calls came thru. I suggest you be patient and wait until
this service expires. It should last a few weeks.

     when issuing your call precede the phone number with the following"

	*70,


the '*70' disactivate the call wainting
the ',' tells the modem to wait 1/2 second. Long enough to get a new dial
	tone.

Bell has been running this introduction campaign for quite a while. There
should have been an information sheet in with one of your previous bills. Bell
has been systematically introducing the service to all exchanges for free for
a period of a month. If you called the business office, they should have given
you the number for the office that is running this campaign. I don't have the
number at hand, but as a system operator, I called a  month in advanvce and
Call waiting is *NOT* installed on my line as requested.

I would suggest you KEEP it. I had Conference for free for almost a year and
I even moved and it followed me ...  The Second time I moved, they cut it
off, but I got to use it for a year.


Unless you receive a lot of modem calls, there's a simple way to disable it...
What I mean is, if you initiate the call it's easy.... If you receive calls,
it's harder, but possible....

to make a call without CALL-WAITING, just dial    *70 and wait a bit before    
placing your call.  I have it set up as a dial prefix with a pause....

)
ie:     ATDT*70,,555-1212    And your Call waiting will be disabled for that

call..

See Y'a !!

I've been told by quite a few people that this can be done.

However:
1) Why didn't Bell tell me that when I called?
2) Why didn't they remove the service when I requested it?

In SOME, but not all areas of montreal, there is a service offered to
people who already have call-waiting. It lets you DISABLE the call waiting
for the duration of your outgoing call.

To use it, you dial 1170 (or *70 if you have the * button) followed by the
number you are calling. Then, for the duration of that call only, people
who call you will get busy signals, and you will be uninterrupted. This is
very useful for modem connections.

If you get a busy signal instead of a dial tone after dialing 1170, this
means your area does not have that service. If you get a dial tone, you're
in luck!

An answer to both your question would be :

My girlfriend and I live in Beaverton (condolences accepted)
and would like to know where there are SAFE places to run
after dark.  I can't run with her, and we don't know enough
people to form a hord.

Frankly, if there are enough pissed off women out there that
would like to form a hord, I would like to know about it. I
just came from a rural community where the women finally tole
the police chief to get to work or publish his resume.  Beaverton
could use a little motivation.

Please email to me and I'll pass along.  Maybe a consensus
will generate a FAQ.

Many thanks,

al
