MegaSack DRAW - This year's winner is user - rgwb
We will be in touch
What is it and can I remove it from the computer?
Some old modem bollocks from the 90's, yes remove it but it doesn't do anything if you just leave it.
It's so users can suspend modem connections.
if you don't use a modem, you can disable it.
Will it affect the mobile modem if I remove it?
Apparently it is affecting something as it is flashed up witha warning and now the mobile modem won't connect.
Thanks.
Wow, that's a blast from the past. What's the context?
NetWaiting was a service for dial-up modems where you could (theoretically) temporarily interrupt a DUN connection to make a phone call without disrupting the data connection. I don't think I ever saw it work even back in 'the day' either - looking back, I'm wondering now whether it was a US-specific feature or if it required subscription to BT's premium services like Call Waiting maybe?
But yeah. Assuming you're actually referring to NetWaiting and not some rogue malware process calling itself NetWaiting, that's what it is. You don't need it, haven't needed it for nigh on ten years, and arguably never needed it.
Will it affect the mobile modem if I remove it?
No.

Reboot? COM ports are pernickity beasts.
Seems to be fixed, or at least I have a connection, cheers guys. 😆
