So, I found a "workaround" through more exhaustive Verizon searching that was supposed to handle the call lockout during a data session (*7650/*765).

I tried it, hoped for the best, turned the ringer on silent and lent my phone to my boss for the demo. I also told my family, who sometimes call during what would be the demo time, that if they DID call, I'd hurt them terribly. (they apparently believed me and didn't try).

Boss ended up not using the phone because there was "public wifi" at the client site after all. However, he was impressed with the phone's abilities so I guess it all worked out in the end.

Thanks to those who offered suggestions. Maybe I'll try CHT one more time....
