regarding "no visible window", there is a tray icon when the modem connects. Click once on it to open window which allows you to disable modem on hold facility. Removal will disable any indication of call waiting while modem is in use.

This program is a feature of some dial-up modems, for not missing calls while you're online.

essspk.exe is installed alongside ESS V92 modems. Allows a pop-up on the computer screen if call-waiting is detected while the user is using the Internet. This is a non-essential process. Disabling or enabling this is down to user preference
