MOH with Broadband

I have a simple question. I use broadband cable modem, but I've also installed 56K modem. I was wondering if I can use Modem on hold?

    MOH will only work with the modem when it is connected to the internet.  If you are using Broadband for you internet connection MOH will not do anything. It only supports call interuption when there is an active call.

    MOH may work when you are using the 56K modem. Here are some factors to consider...

    1.) You must connect to a V.92 server. Some ISP's are v.92 compliant for only certain dial up numbers.

    2.) Make sure you have not disabled call waiting in the dial up procedure.

    3.) The ISP must allow Modem on Hold time. Some ISP's are V.92, but have the allowed MOH time set to 0 seconds (AOL does this, among others)

    4.) MOH time varies from ISP to ISP. Mine allows 4 minutes before it boots me off.

    I love MOH, but do not have broadband. Just curious, why would you need MOH if you have the broadband?
