Make Busy (mkb)
(Disruptive)
Use the mkb command to enable or disable COMSPHERE 3800 Series modems or DATAPHONE

across the switched network line at the specified modem. This places the modem out-of-service.

schedule its execution. If the last page of the input form cannot accommodate the Destination for
results and Schedule execution fields, an additional page is provided. For a complete description
