after that handy help, it's a question of modem command syntax.
e.g.
for 'AT' syntax: atd1234
will 'typically' dial 1234 using tones.
if you send any character during dialing or just after dialing ,during modem handshaking, then the modem will hang up!
so be wary of terminal settings if you send something like:
print <modem_fh> "atdt1234\r\n";
the \r 'might' not be neccesary, and you will be driven up the wall if it isn't, not that this has happpend to me! ;)
the second 't' in that example should 'force' the modem to use tones, even if its configured to do pulses by default.

Wayne
