Narrative:

Clearing active runway 27R in atl, ground was too busy to speak to me. I had to brake to avoid an air carrier jet eastbound on taxiway left. After we both had stopped, he gave way to me. I taxied to the ramp still unable to contact ground control. Ground control frequency never did clear enough to use it.
