- I am by no means a UUCP expert, but I think that adding the ABORT line which I
- have inserted above might do the trick. You could also try " ABORT 002 \".
- You probably won't need the last line after you add the ABORT.

- I was hanging until timeout on all BUSY calls (they were admittedly rare)
- before I added ABORT BUSY as the first line of my chat script.
