Instead of taking the phone off the hook during news/batch etc.
Is it possible to run something TSR and answer the phone. It will
print out a message "System is busy, please call back in a few minutes.."
?
I used to run a BBS with a ZOOM modem with its hardware message.
I can program the modem to automatically connect and print out
a message then disconnect :-)))
Thanks
H.
