The desired thing to have happen is for the telco switch NOT to deliver new
calls to the trunk. The proposed command would be "set lineX
softbusy|nosoftbusy".
This proposed command would not interrupt existing calls but as each DS0
went idle, the PM3 would set the "busyout" bit (this is probably not the
correct name) that would cause the switch to see that DSO as busy and not
send any new calls to it.
Back when I had a rack full of sportster modems, I would put a "busy out"
plug in the "phone" port so that after the current call was completed, the
line would be busy to the switch.
This "busyout" or "softbusy" is available on the USR TC chassis.
