Might I suggest that the remote system is busy? It is the modem which is
sending back the response "BUSY". So, eitehr your modem is defective or
the remote site actually is busy. Have youtried dialing it on the phone?
Have you tried leaving the modem volume control on while it is dialing
so you can hear what happens at the other end?
