answering phone while on internet

[Linda]

I am using XP. When I am on the internet with call
waiting on, I get a pop-up that says "You are ignoring an
incoming call, click OK." How do I hook up my phone line
so that I will be able to pick up the phone and answer
the call? I have tried a double phone jack with no luck.

Assuming that you have a "call waiting" modem (there are many different
brands), I would suggest you either read the modem manual or go to the web
site of the manufacturer and look for their customer support.
