What do LD carriers do when they dial a number that the destination CO
has programmed as a "call forward - no answer", and the number
forwarded to is busy?  In this situation, the caller hears a few
rings, and then a busy signal.  Surely this will confuse people who
call me and don't know that I'm a telecom weirdo...  But what about
the "supervision" return codes to the originating CO?  If someone
calls long distance and this happens, will they get billed because of
the change in cadence from ringing to busy?
