:
There is a difference between OUTPUT and DIAL. DIAL is special because it
does not require the carrier signal to be present on the serial device; after
all, how can it be, since the connection has not yet been made?
OUTPUT, on the other hand, does require carrier unless you first tell it not
to with "set carrier-watch off".
Why not just use the DIAL command?
