Choosing Between Pulse and Tone Dialing
Before you use your computer's keyboard to dial a
call, make sure you've selected the correct dialing pro-
tocol-tone (push-button) or pulse (rotary)-for your
phone. To select tone (push-button) dialing, type 4. Type
4 again to return to pulse (rotary) dialing.
NOTE:
If you have an ATARI
40QTM
Home Computer,
you cannot use the tone (push-button) dialing feature to
dial from your computer's keyboard.
Dialing from the Computer Keyboard
To dial from your computer keyboard, type l, then
follow the instructions on the screen.
Type the telephone number you want to call, then press
mi rllI.
NOTE:
If you're calling through a switchboard (PBX)
and need to dial 9 to get an outside line, type an asterisk
(*)
after typing 9. This tells ModemLink to dial 9, then
pause-that is, wait for the second dial tone-before dial-
ing the rest of the number.
ModemLink displays the number-automatically placing
a dash or space where necessary to separate prefixes,
area codes, and other numbers commonly used when
dialing calls-and highlights each number in inverse
video as it is dialed . . .
