- In article <telecom12.680.5@eecs.nwu.edu>, mcb@presto.ig.com (Michael
- C. Berch) writes about Forbidden Numbers and redial limits.

- FWIW, the problem isn't V.25bis, and isn't even part of V.25bis, but
- is in the modem in order to get approval for use in those countries.
- V.25bis is a rather neat method of doing inband dialing on sync (and
- async, via a different option set) lines. If the modem is clever
- enough to autorepeat the call, then it has to meet national
- regulations, V.25bis or not.
-
- I suspect that the "forever" rules are based on an expectation that
- once the two minutes are up, it is possible that you've forgotten why
- you're dialing and thus are expected to request the call again. I
- strongly suspect that being on the Forbidden list doesn't eternally
- prevent re-requesting the call. If it does, then just make sure that
- you cancel the request after only _three_ retries!
-
- Some national regs are weird. V.25bis is catching on; don't blame
- it for those regulatory problems.
