I don't know about the length, but most modern modems use an "=" sign in the dialing string to signify "wait for a dial tone", and a "," to signify "pause", so you could use 800xxxxxxx=0xxxxxxxxxx,,,xxxxxxxxxxxxx to do what you wanted. You might have to play with the number of commas to get the correct delay. -- Mark O'Lear \ e-mail: Mark.Olear@Colorado.EDU University of Colorado \ phone: (303) 492-3798 Telecomm. Svcs.
