The same way I started out.

I had mine exit on "NO DIAL TONE". I set up a config file, to look for each
BBS, with a # of attempts to try.. I let it be infinite if this # wass
negative.  It would keep trying as long as it saw "BUSY" or "NO CARRIER". Yes,
and if "NO ANSWER", it would set the count to 1 and try once more, then exit.

It might be a good idea.. Do we have a need for a fairly elaborate external
autodialer?  I had thought of developing mine to a pretty neat thing, but, if
you have already done it, there would be no need.

Ummm, about the switch() thing.. I can't think of anything to do except keep
dialing on "nonfatal" responses or exit on "fatal" ones.
