- There might be a way out :
-
- use a dial modifier for going to command mode after dialing, typically ';' is
- used for that purpose. then, the next commant starts with AT again, including
- the fresh count of command line characters.
-
- so it might look like :
- ATDT<first number>;
-
- the modem dials out and will accept any new command line:
- ATDT<second number>
-
-
- you can continue with more numbers, especially in cases when you need to
- use (1) 1-800 number to get the computer tone, (2) enter the actual remote
- station number, (3) enter the PIN number to validate the call...
