>From your Kermit 95 BUGS.TXT file:
134. Tone dialing changes to Pulse after first digit (C)
Some modems have a feature called adaptive dialing. When they are told to
dial a number using Tone dialing, they check to make sure that dialtone has
gone away after dialing the first digit. If it has not, the modem assumes the
phone line does not accept Tone dialing and so switches to Pulse.
When dialing out from a PBX, there is almost always a secondary dialtone.
Typically you take the phone off-hook, get the PBX dialtone, dial "9" to get
an outside line, and then get the phone company's dialtone. In a situation
like this, you need to tell the modem to expect the secondary dialtone. On
Hayes and compatible modems, this is done by putting a "W" in the dial string
at the appropriate place. For example, to dial 9 for an outside line, and
then 7654321, use ATDT9W7654321. In Kermit 95, this is accomplished with:
SET PBX-OUTSIDE-PREFIX 9W
(replace "9" with whatever your PBX's outside-line prefix is).
