O.J. Boxma and J.W. Cohen recently obtained an explicit expression for the M/G/1 steady-state waiting-time distribution for a class of service-time distributions with power tails. We extend their explicit representation from a one-parameter family of service-time distributions to a two-parameter family. The complementary cumulative distribution functions (ccdfs) of the service times all have the asymptotic form
