Phone Dialer Does Not Report a Busy Signal (134520)
The information in this article applies to:
This article was previously published under Q134520 SYMPTOMS
When you use Phone Dialer, you may not receive notification that the line
you are calling is busy.
CAUSE
Depending on the modem and driver being used, Phone Dialer may not detect
the busy signal. This occurs because the drivers for certain modems have
been designed to not establish a data connection, when calling from Phone
Dialer, even if the number called is another modem. In order to prevent the
data connection, Phone Dialer loses the ability to detect a busy signal.
RESOLUTION
Install a standard modem driver for the modem. This will cause Phone Dialer
to detect a busy signal, but may also cause Phone Dialer to establish a
connection if you call another modem.
