Hi,
This really isn't a computer problem, but I don't know where to look. I've been missing important phone calls while online. I don't have a second phone line. I was wondering if there is anything that could tell me when a call comes in? Something to download or some component to buy? Thanks for reading my message.

call waiting is the key but you also need a v.92 modem and Modem On Hold (MOH) software. If your ISP supports v.92 you can stay online and make/take a call.
http://www.modemsite.com/56k/v92moh.asp gives good info.

I just recently saw a machine from AT&T that does exactly what you want. I can't remember the name of it, but it was at Wal-Mart near the cellphone and Call ID machines.. No special software is required.
Give that a shot. :) I'm going to get one myself...
