 Can ISP detect when dial-ins are 'overloaded' ? Surely ISP's can detect when the 'queue of dial-ins has increased so that the wait until next-stage will be excessive' ? My ppp-script is set to [say] 99 seconds to exit if PAP hasn't confirmed. This means that when the ISP's load is high, I don't get an engaged signal, but rather I get the cost of a dud-call and a PAP timeout exit/abort-call. WTF don't the ISP[s] just send an engaged signal to their input-modem/s, to save their clients unnecesaary costs ? TIA, == Chris Glur.  |
