Yes - mine recognized a busy signal whenever one was present. Make sure you have X4 as part of your init.

DM>Can anyone help with an example (or even a close one). Thanks. I just plugged this into Trumpet for my ISP who uses X2 modems: $modemsetup = "&F&C1&D2+MS=74,1,300,28800" For the BBS, I use (... Hope I can call it up while in DOS): ModemInit="AT&F S0=0 Q0 E1 X4^M~~~AT&C1&D2^M~" These seem to work OK, although I haven't tweaked either of them much at all. I think my modem is an "IS" model. I have no ideas how this might compare to an "IX" one.
