- I have a USR Sportster V.34+ fax/modem. When I dialed up my ISP and
- if the line was busy, at 80% of the times the modem re-dialed after the
- second busy tone. However, it happened at some re-dial attempts that the
- modem could not recorgnize the busy tone and the busy tone continued
- until it was timeout at around 30 seconds. Then the carrier dropped and
- the modem re-dialed again. Thus the re-dial interval became very long.
-
- Do anyone know why this happens?
-
- Thanks for all help.
