Anyone who uses the BT 'Call Waiting' facility and also uses a modem
on the same phone line will probably have discovered that if you get a
Call Waiting beep while your modem is active, the modem is liable to
drop the line.
The GCW program can be used with any specified device and unit,
'serial.device' unit 0 being the default argument. Usage and
arguments are explained in the doc file which also explains how to use
Call Waiting commands via a modem. The source in C is included.
Please note that this program is only suitable for use in the UK on
British Telecom lines, or - for example - on a BT link to Mercury.
