- # About the "forbidden" list. It is not really a "forbidden" list, but rather
- # a "dead" list. If a connection fails a certain number of times
- # ( 12 with my Racal-Datacom ) in sequence, it is considerated "dead".
- #
- # Unforunately even a busy line counts as failed. If you set your UUCICO
- # to redial your feed every 10 minutes if it's busy and it does not succeed
- # within 2 hours it will go to the the "dead" list.

- Is the "forbidden" list some specific digit length long?
- {Based on my experience visiting in FRG, I doubt it.}
-
- So could a site needing to reach: 331-0001 try:
- 331-00010
- 331-00011
- 331-00012
- and so forth, with the telco syitch ignoring that final, unneeded
- digit?
