Hi Mark,
A couple weeks or so ago you said that you thought it was related to a
timeout function and noted you had made some changes. I am still having
the problem.
This is the error from the ECS.LOG
133d N 09/24 5:52 PM:Modem ERROR responding to "CALL:ATDT,,!,0,,4048717804
!" (Item "Phone-Answer")
133e N 09/24 5:52 PM:Call from Tim Caison at 404-249-7758
133f N 09/24 5:53 PM:Phone Msg #050007 - Busy
I disconnected ECS from a PBX extension and that also did not correct the
problem.
