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.

Drawback: You will get a failure message in your LOGFILE and in the summary  
generated by uucp.day.sh
