It definately recognizes busy signals -- I have one at home, and had to
disable that feature via Hayes commands so that auto-redial would work with
an older version of VersaTerm.  VersaTerm's auto-redial (as of 3.20) now
knows what to do with PP's "BUSY" response, and works accordingly.  I don't
know about PP doing auto-redial; all I know is that with VersaTerm, it does
auto-redial (in the background under MultiFinder, yet!).

I realize now what the term "attack dialer" means...

                                                  "Thanks!"
