I suppose that *could* be what he wants, but I was asking for *his* clarification. Synchronet never has (even back in the dial-up modem days) made a node (or phone line) "busy" while an exclusive event was being executed. Instead, a message explaining that the node is not available is displayed (instead of login prompt) to the user and the session is disconnected.
