How many customers can one dial-up number handle?
You must understand that any single access number is only the first in a hunt group of numbers. The dialup number is called, then the call is rolled over to the next available number in a group of numbers standing by. There is a whole bank of modems in every location waiting for calls. When 7 tenths of 1 percent of calls result in a busy signal, we make an upstream request to add to the modem bank. You should not be able to overload any location and if in the unlikely event you do, it will only be temporary until we can make an adjustment.
