Fsst busy on forwarding under certain conditions

[telcoman]

I have noticed if I forward MJ to a number that is busy and has no alternate routing such as a VM box or call alert (In other words if the destination # normally returns busy tone if in use) rather than busy tone being returned to the caller they hear fast busy, leading them to believe the number is out of service. I use the MJ to forward calls to my home phone which is set up like this to provide a toll free number from another city. I know I am old fashioned with no VM or call alert,.

So what would you have MJ do since the # you are forwarding to is busy?? YELL REAL LOUD SO THE PERSON HANGS UP???
Since you have your MJ being forward it can not use it's own VM and since the # it is being forward to is busy, and without its own VM, MJ throws up its hands ( yes it has hands but they are hidden on the dongle and VERY hard to see) and says "Th th th th that's all folks"

Dongles got hands??

Like Joe said. If the phone you're forwarded to is busy, there ain't nuthin' ya can do 'til it's un-busy.

It s a software problem in MJ's switch, its interpreting 60 ips from the far end incorrectly. I am a telco tech, but getting past their on line help to a technician who knows what they are talking about is tough.
