Some of us still
use modems to access the Internet (we'd kill for a cable modem connection).
Busy signals are a major annoyance, but with this little tip, dial-up users
won't be bothered by them as much. Open the 'Dial-Up Networking' folder that
sits in 'My Computer'. From there, select the 'Connections' option from the
drop-down menu and choose 'Settings'. There should be a section there for you
to edit how many times your modem will redial before finally giving up; I'd
suggest "60". Hopefully, you'll never see that number of redials.
