I have no idea about the rest, but the call waiting is easy. Pick up the
phone and dial one of:

*#43#  to see if it is enabled
#43#   to disable it
*43#   to re-enable it

The old touchphones are nasty, be careful with them. If you are getting
timeouts, it would be advisable to turn on PPP debugging. If the server is
disconnecting you, it will spit out a message to that effect.
