When I need to busy out a time span on a T1, I do a hard busy as I was told that the CO can override a soft busy. Since I do not want any traffic to come in while flashing, I'm told, I always do this.
The difference between a hard busy and a soft busy out is how soon the line is made busy. With soft busy, the card is "soft core" and waits till the user logs off before making the channel busy. With hard busy, the card is real "hard core" and knocks anyone off that's logged onto the channel in reference immediately, no questions asked, then makes the channel busy. I haven't come across anyone ever saying that the telco can command the CPE to drop busy state. It would be a real surprise to me if that were true.
