You know, that one got me too: I had once tried to use tip for numeric
paging, and I couldn't do the dial
pause. I don't have time to try it myself, but if you want to, try this
hack: it substitutes the comma-delimiter with a semicolon-delimiter in the
phones file. A semicolon in a dial string is supposed to return the modem to
command-mode after dialing. That will let the telco connection continue, but
will wait for AT commands to go on-hook or start the handshake. I can't
imagine a use for that in tip. Every time *I* have done that, it has been
for troubleshooting and was convenient to type the AT command manually.
I wonder why just a linefeed character won't work...
This should probably be done with a #define...
