I don't know if I need to answer.. However the problem is not as silly as the first response gotten. Busy line is not a problem and it is detected actually at the PPP connection stage. Next, if the Palm has been connected and the line dropped, a transaction timeout is detected by a NetLib call - the event is explicit and detected easily. Now the user needs to wait one minute or longer because of the timeout in Network Preferences (under Palm OS 4.x). Hope to attract attention of an expert developer..
