I am using a Hayes compatible modem in my PC. Everything works fine,
except that the modem does not recognize when the number it dialed is
busy. Instead it waits for some time and then says: NO CARRIER.

Is there some setup option I missed, or what is the reason for this
behaviour?

Any hints will be appreciated.

Thanks, Kai.
