I don't think I got as far as data.

It dialed the number, called, and then Ion the third ring, it stops mid ring and bcom says BUSY.

I'll be able to connect around 6 or so. I'm at school at the moment. I'll try another ISA modem too, if I still can't connect.

No dice. It dials, then hangs up while ringing. I'll change modem card to see if that fixes it.

I called my cellphone with it, and I can hear myself through the speaker on the modem card, and it doesn't instantly give a BUSY message.

Still the same issue. I've just found another modem card to use. I'll try again once I put that in.

Nothing has changed. Keep getting the BUSY message while ringing. I listened on the phone to hear what's going on, and once bcom says BUSY, the line keeps ringing until I do Alt H.

How do I do that? Any particular software? I've never dabbled in dialup before, so please excuse my ignorance!
