- The only real problem that I've had is with the confusion over the ring/busy
- signal. In the UK sometimes the phone rings: ring....ring-ring....ring-ring
- etc (one ring followed by the normal double ring). This confused the modem
- into thinking that it was a busy signal. To work around this I disabled
- busy signal detection (via a ATX command).
