Re: Fax number is dialing too quickly



What do you mean by "much too fast"? A modem typically dials
significanty faster than a human being can - the default tone duration
(for each digit) is 95 msec, so you should get about 10 digits dialed
in a second. If it seems to be dialing much faster than this, the tone
duration setting is held in the modem's S11 Register, and should be
able to be changed by issuing an appropriate AT command (e.g.
ATS11=95).

I'm a confessed Luddite and I'm looking for a more elegant solution to my
problem. After going through various versions of dialing rules to make sure
that the area code was being dialed but "1" was not being dialed, I finally
ran the lines through my phone & put it on speaker so I could listen to what
the modem was doing. Turned out that while there was a dial tone it was
dialing much too fast so the call was not going through and the fax was being
transmitted to a dial tone.

My bandaid was inserting commas in front of the fax number (suggested by a
computer geek ex) but there must be a cleaner way to fix this problem. Any
suggestions gratefully accepted.
