I have found that typing ATX4 is no guarantee that the modem will detect
BUSY signals, and I have never seen the VOICE message come across.
However, there are many occassions where the modem does indeed detect a
busy signal, and it seems to depend more on phone systems than anything
else.  If the busy signal sounds loud and clear, the modem usually
detects it, but a soft or muted busy tone might be missed.  So perhaps
your modem works just fine, but the signals are too weak to be detected.
