Can I use the Internet Call Notification for phone calls that aren't initiated through my modem?
No. Internet Call Notification is a modem-based feature. It can work only with your modem and an Internet connection. You cannot use it to alert you of incoming calls when you are not connected to the Internet using your modem.
How can I stop the countdown during my phone call so that I don't lose my Internet connection?
You cannot. Your ISP determines the length of time that you may keep your Internet connection on hold.
How can I automatically reject incoming calls when on the Internet?
Disable Call Waiting functionality on your phone line before connecting to the Internet. Check with your telephone service provider for details. On some telephone networks, this is achieved by adding a special prefix before your ISP’s phone number in your Dial-up Networking properties. If you do not know what this prefix is, contact your telephone service provider.
How can I set my software so that my Internet connection automatically disconnects for incoming calls?
Currently, the software does not support this option. You will have to manually press the Accept call button on the pop-up screen.
Since Internet Call Notification is always running, will it slow down my computer?
Internet Call Notification was designed to not strain your computer's processor. When it is running, it simply monitors the modem and nothing else.
Is Internet Call Notification compatible with Internet gaming?
Some latency may be experienced solely due to the Call Waiting signal sent by the telephone network. Unfortunately, the only way around this problem is to disable Call Waiting when making Internet calls. Check with your telephone service provider for instructions. Because of this latency, your game may time-out and you may be disconnected.
On some full-screen games, Internet Call Notification will open but you will not see it in the system tray.
Some full-screen games may crash when a background process tries to display a window.
