Any way to drop/disconnect form the net upon incoming call if with a V.90 ISP?

Question

Detail: ISP: Supports V.90 Standard OS: Microsoft Windows XP Home Ed. Modem: Conexant D850 56K V.9x DFVc Modem MOH software: Netwaiting V 2.5.12 Call Waiting Enabled Hi, I have just bought a Dell computer with a Conexant modem that supports v.92 Standard and I have call waiting service. However NONE of the ISPs in New Zealand supports v.92 (This is so sad), and I could not get boardband in my area. The Netwaiting software, display me with this message of 'Not connected to v.92 server' and cannot detect incoming calls or automaticly disconnected upon incoming call. Where on my Labtop that I used to use on the same line, I also had a modem that also supports v.92 standard. It uses a MOH applet ' LtMoh v1.69' where when there is an incoming call, although I could not use the full features of V.92, the program would pop up and ask if I'd like to disconnect from the internet to take the call. I was wondering by anyway I could be able to disconnect from the internet if there is an incoming call? Like a similar MOH software to the LtMoh one or if I can do that by changing some of the settings?? Please please if anyone can help me with this problem. Thank you very much! This really causes major inconvience to dail-up users like me. Dell should consider having a update driver or MOH software developed or even chang the Modem manufacure if this feature of detecting incoming telephone call cannot be used. There are still a large number of dail up users around the world, and many dail-up ISPs DO NOT SUPPORT V.92. I would have joined such a v.92 ISP if there is any availiable; this is NOT my fault, why should I bear it? Especically it is the case when there are a number of MOH software provided by other modem manufactures that are able to function (partly) on a V.90 server.   Please be a bit more thoughtful for the END users who actually use the product.

I have checked with BVRP, and the following is the response I received:

BVRP does not develop the Modem drivers, the manufacturer of the modems do. We do not actually make the Netwaiting program any more, we sold it to the modem manufacturer. You would want to contact them for any Feature suggestions.

Where on Conexant website, they say:

Modem Driver Support
Conexant does not build or sell consumer modems; we sell modem chipsets to PC and modem manufacturers.

I think that means Dell now Owns the Netwaiting Program. Is there any method at all at the moment for me to be able to disconnect from the internet if there is an incoming call (Like change settings,registry or add another software etc.)?? or could Dell maybe update the Netwaiting software to be able to detect call waiting noise in the modem?

a lot of people (used to at least) get disconnected when they have call waiting enabled (and aren't used v92).    might be a bit of a long shot but maybe get a caller ID box or something nearby that would flash when call waiting showed a new number dialing in?

I know alot of people get disconnected from the internet if there is call waiting....but for some reason it doesn't happen to me. I read some article on the net saying maybe change the setting (or maybe registry?) can make the modem more sensitive to incoming call signals and thurs get automaticly disconnected from the internet....

The problem is I'm not very farmiliar with the registry...and I couldn't find any setting that I can alter to make the modem more scensitive.
