Call waiting is dependent on your carrier, ie in the UK it's a 4-digit
prefix, 1470, to disable it while dialing up. Originator mask is also
dependent on carrier, ask your carrier what the codes to disable these
are (if you have them) and what order they should go in for dialing up
an ISP, as very few if any providers will actually allow a connection
from a masked number, and of course the consequences of a call waiting
beep coming through while you're online...
