Using Your Modem
Calling long distance
This is another example of using Tone dialing, this time to place
a long distance call. The spaces, parentheses, and dashes are
used to make the number easier to read, but are ignored by the
modem.
TYPE:
PRESS: Enter
If you would like to know more about the function of the dial
command, refer to the following commands in Chapter 4:
P (Pulse), T (Tone), &Z (Store Telephone Numbers), S6 (Blind
Dial Pause Time), S7 (No Answer Time-out), and S8 (Pause
Time Dial Modifier).
Disconnecting a Call
Two ways you can disconnect a call are the H command and
DTR disconnect.
To disconnect using the H command, enter online Command
mode and issue an ATH command to make your modem hang
up, or go on-hook.

TYPE:
PRESS: Enter
The modem disconnects.
A third, and more subtle approach to hanging up a call, is to
make sure that the &D command is set to &D2 (the factory
default setting which is standard for EIA RS-232 operation). This
will allow your communications software to drop the DTR signal
to the modem and force the modem to disconnect the call. This
method is often used by communications software.
Also note that your modem will automatically disconnect when
the remote modem hangs up.
