The DC-2212 modem is equipped to perform many operations
that
are equivalent
to
the
functions of an operator making a call.
When the modem detects a busy signal
after
dialing a number, the message BUSY is
printed on the screen. (DC-2212 enters
the
disconnect mode.)
In
a
similar
situation, a
telephone operator might
say:
"I'm
sorry, that number is busy. Would
you like
to place
the call again later?"
You would
hang
up the receiver, wait about 30
minutes
,
and try
to
make
the call again.
