New modem options available on certain 10.2.5 Macs

Does that have to do with the new v92 modems?

I haven't seen the documentation but I believe it is a V.92
feature supported in Jaguar. It requires
"Call Waiting" and I believe your ISP's access modems must
support V.92. When you get an incoming call the call waiting
feature sends an alert to the computer and the internet
connection can be put on hold while you answer the voice call.
The ISP has a default time out for holding the connection open.
Without any one of the 3 requirements, it is crippled.

I definitely saw it on 10.2.4 and 'Notify me of incoming calls
while connected to the Internet' is related to v.92 modems.

The problem is trying to find an ISP which supports the v.92
spec. If you find one it will allow you to pause your internet
connection and answer an incoming call, when you are finished
you will be automatically reconnected.

The option to request notification of a call coming through has always
existed right from the beginning of 10.2, but if you have BT's 1571
answer machine enabled on the same line as the modem, the facility
does not work. It featured in Sys.preferences/Network/Modem tab
