}another.  The hayes command-set compatable modems use T for tone or P for
}pulse, and can imbed them in the phone number string.  What you have found

The problem is that one cannot put P or T directly in the phone number string
in L.sys.  It accepts only digits and a few "magic" characters such as ',"
and '-' and '=' which are then translated using modemcap.  I was hoping
somebody could tell me which magic characters are translated using the pt and
pt strings.
