Quotation marks are used to have the modem dial abbrevia-
tions and acronyms used as phone "numbers," such as
DIAL USR (the USRobotics Sales Department's 800 num-
ber). The option is called Quote Mode. Quotation marks
are inserted at the beginning of the alphabetic string:
ATDT"BBS-NEWS
<er>
If
you're including another command after the dial string,
use closing quotation marks before the additional command.
This command applies to modems in installations where
other modems share the phone line. The modem flashes the
switch-hook, i.e., goes off hook 0.5 seconds, on hook for
0.5 seconds. and off hook again to dial the specified exten-
sion. The following example includes instructions to return
to Command Mode (;) and to hang up (H).
ATDT ! 1234; H
<er>
This command is useful in situations where you must wait
for a second dial tone before entering a password, for exam-
ple, when using MCI, Sprint, or other long-distance service.
The following command tells the modem to dial the service
number, wait for the second dial tone, dial the ID, pause
two seconds. then place the long-distance call.
ATDT 5551234 W 12345, 3121234567
<er>
NOTE: This command executes only if result code option
X3 or greater has been issued. If the modem is set to X2
or lower, the modem interprets the W as a comma (two-
second pause).
