Sorry if this is off-topic.

I hope any ISPs out there can share their experience here. What I need to
know is that if you have a pool of modems, and one modem dies, will a user
keep ringing that modem, getting stuck at that line instead of hopping
down to the next one (because of a received busy signal)? So what is the
best way of bypassing a dead modem? thanks!
