- A previous post listed the redial limitations in various
- countries, including a "forbidden number list" where numbers of calls
- that were failed several times were stored. The modem would then
- refuse to dial the forbidden numbers.
-
- I had heard of this regulation before (I think in the
- documentation to Xtalk mk 4). I am reminded of one of our customers
- who put a wrong phone number in one of broadcast transmitter control
- systems. Instead of dialing the network control point, it called some
- invalid number every couple minutes all night long. They got a call
- from AT&T in the morning wanting to know what was going on.
-
- I imagine this regulation (for the US) is in part 68. My copy
- of part 68 seems to be deep in some pile of paper here ...
