Old trick and it works - as long as both you and your ISP have your
modems set to not disconnect on carrier loss of less than <pick a
large number> seconds. Most ISPs disconnect on 10 seconds of loss or
less. (when you switch to the incoming call the modems both show loss
of carrier until you come back to the modem call. And, if your
software isn't set to hold on loss of carrier, it'll hang the call
up.)
