Re:  Busy Signal Advisory


We have been experiencing busy signals lately.  This message is to remind
you of the best phone number for you to call.

If you are calling with a 2400 baud modem, dial 408/725-0561
If you are calling with a 9600 (v.32), 14400 (v.32bis) or a PEP modem, dial
        408/973-8091

In order to cut down on busy signals, we urge you to connect to the correct
modem pool.  Only 1/3 of our 2400 baud modems are in use, while our high
are speed modems overloaded.

All modems connect to the same interface so you do not lose any functionality
by connecting to a different modem pool.

If you have any questions, please mail them to CS.  (cs@cup.portal.com)

Thanks!
