I am using a Telebit T1000 as my polling modem. I seem to have a problem
with the phone sometimes detecting busy. On most system it would not
matter how long it takes to detect busy because it will eventually time
out. But, on the system I call, if the phone is busy for a long time it
will actually drop the caller who is online. It is a weird phone system.
The only remedy I have for this is to set the S07 register for 18
seconds so if the modem has not detected busy by then it just hangs up
because it didn't detect a carrier. You would think that within 18
seconds the modem would recognise a busy signal-but sometimes it doesn't.
The 18 seconds is becoming a problem because sometimes it takes longer
than that to connect to another system and it will end up hanging up on
the system just before it connects.

I have the modem set in enhanced command mode and the X register set
at X3.

Any help would be appreciated.

Eric
