I guess you derived the set dial string from: set dial "ABORT BUSY ABORT NO\\sCARRIER TIMEOUT 5 \"\" ATE1Q0M0 = OK-AT-OK\\dATDT\\T TIMEOUT 40 CONNECT" =20 As you know, the 'ATE1Q0M0' section is for modem initialisation. = Breaking it down 'AT' is the attention code prefix; 'E1' enables command echo, but many modems default to this so you can probably omit it; 'Q0' lets the modem send results to the computer, so you may well need it; 'M0' tells = the modem to dial quietly. You could just slap your X0 on the end like ATE1Q0M0X0 There was a thread in this mailing list recently, with some good answers for someone with a similar problem, in that they had a non standard dial- tone to deal with.
