-> I've recently upgraded from the Courier V.everything modem to the
-> Courier I-Modem and now when the bbs does a ATH1| to the modem, any
-> new callers get a "no answer" rather than a "busy" .... does anyone
-> know where and/or how I can set that modem up to give the caller a
-> "busy signal" ?  It makes it real trying on callers when I'm doing
-> maintenance work on the bbs software, databases or configurations.
The problem is that you can't make an ISDN line busy by taking it off
hook.
If your BBS is only going to be down for a minute or two, you can try
changing your off-hook string from "ATH1" to "ATDT 3,,,,,,,,"  or
something that will make the ISDN line think you're dialing out, which
should busy out the number.   This may or may not work depending on the
phone company providing your service.   Also make sure you don't enter
something that might cause you to be charged for the call.
For longer periods of time, there is no solution.   I'd be eager to hear
if you come up with anything different.
my 2 cents,
