Hi Laurence,

In most modems, one "," (comma) equals one second.  Just insert the number
of comma's you need for the number of seconds you need to wait.
***Disclaimer***  Some modems a comma can be more or less than a second.
The only way to know for sure is trial and error.

Good luck!

Subject: [PCBUILD] modem dialup


PCBUILD Digest - 6 Jul 2001 to 7 Jul 2001 (#2001-189)i'm not sure this is
the right list to address this query, but here it is:
how can i setup my modem dial up properties so that when i'm in a hotel and
have to dial 0 or 9 to get an outside line enough time elapses between
dialling the 0 or 9 so as to have the outside line before the modem starts
dialling the isp number.
as it is now, i add the 0 to the beginning of the number but most of the
number has been "dialled" before i get the outside line... i need to insert
a 5 second interval before the rest of the number is dialled.
thank you for any help on this!
