- The US has (I think that same 10) limit also. Devices which autodial
- aren't allowed to redial by themselves more than that number of times
- (example, redial buttons on phones, that continue retrying). That limit
- does not apply when the redialing is under external control, for example
- a program that redials. Seems a bit silly, that distinction.
-
- Blacklisting, of course, prevents issuing another DIAL COMMAND for that
- number to the modem until that number times out in the blacklist or
- the modem is powercycled.
