When HotCall is activated, you can decide what to do with the call: You can take the call, and HotCall will automatically terminate your modem connection. You can find out if the call is urgent, and in most cases HotCall will maintain your modem connection for several seconds, allowing you to resume your Internet use. Or, if you wish, the caller can leave a message with voice mail if it is provided by the phone company.
End continuous busy signals by using your modem without disabling call waiting. HotCall is compatible with the phone company's voice mail, so callers can leave messages while you're online. HotCall is easy to install--simply connect each device and plug it into an AC outlet.
HotCall is designed and manufactured by Command Communications, the inventor of the original fax switch.
