}[Moderator's Note: This of course depends on your call arriving within
}seconds of the last call; not impossible, but not terribly likely
}unless you have a very busy line. And one guideline would be if you
}called and got a busy signal, then called a minute later and got a
}ring, let it ring until it does reset.  PAT]

Better yet, hang up and try again in a couple of minutes. With my
machine at least, if the caller hangs up before the beep, this doesn't
count as a message. That is, assuming no other messages on the tape,
it will answer after four rings rather than two. Getting a busy signal
only means that someone was on the line, not that they had anything to
say.
