I think call waiting "beep beep" would also cause disconnects a lot of the time, if the person had that.

- spacemanmatt 6y agoIt was specifically the call-waiting beeps that interrupted the modem connection. I recall my 300 baud modem tolerating it, but 12/2400 (and higher) could not recover from the interruption.
- Moru 6y agoYou could set how long the modems would wait for reconnect. We had a service that offered free phone calls with 15 seconds interruption for ads now and then. Worked fine for free bbs time if you knew how to set it :)
