I was able to connect over the weekend.  It took a while, but my
problem was not busy signals, it was no answers.  I set my comm
program to dial continuously while I paid bills (Yuck!).  It took
about 20 minutes to get through.  About every tenth try got a busy
signal, but 9 out of ten was a no-answer problem.  They must have a
multi-dial rotor, and no modems on the upper numbers.
