Make Busy (mkb)

(Disruptive)
Use the mkb command to enable or disable COMSPHERE 3800 Series modems or DATAPHONE
II Direct Distance Dial (DDD) devices. This command simulates a busy signal by placing a resistor
across the switched network line at the specified modem. This places the modem out-of-service.
