Dial-up Internet call waiting tool lost after recovery

#1 Post by doross4u » Fri Feb 05, 2010 6:50 pm

Hi!

I have a ThinkPad T42p laptop computer with Machine Type: 2373-HSG and Serial Number: 99K8TAZ.

The computer came with Windows XP Professional SP1 as well as a number of useful tools and applications preinstalled by the factory.

One of them was a piece of software called something like "Call Waiting" or something similar, as I cannot now remember very well. Its purpose was to allow users receive an incoming telephone call while being connected to the Internet through a dial-up modem connection.

Unfortunately, a few weeks ago, a virus caused so severe a damage to my system that I had to use the Rescue and Recovery feature to have the preloaded operating system, reinstalled.

I subsequently upgraded the preloaded Windows XP Professional SP1 to SP3, upgraded Internet Explorer from the preloaded version 6 to the latest version 8, dowloaded and installed all the other available Microsoft Update files as well all the latest versions of drivers and ThinkVantage utilities and applications from the Lenovo website.

Unfortunately, however, this "Call Waiting" application has been lost as it neither available for download on the Lenovo website nor in the C:\ibmtools folder on my hard disk which includes all the applications and utilities of the system as they were delivered and preloaded from the factory.

I would greatly appreciate your help that could be offered to me about it.

More specifically, I would like to know what the exact name of this piece of software is because I am not sure if it is indeed "Call Waiting" or something else and where can I download a legal copy of it from.

However, if it is no longer available for download, is there any other similar application which would work the same impeccably with my ThinkPad's integrated 56K CXT modem and, if yes, where could I get it from?

All the best!
