>>>Yes. Until your modem sees and negotiates with another modem, it appears to be staying in command mode so you should be able send digits until the modem reaches it's dialing timeout. Having fun yet?

>Meaning? You should be able to control your voicemail system with the modem just like you would through a standard phone. Touch tone is touch tone. Just a matter of having the modem in a proper mode and somehow guessing where you are in the sequence. Without more details, I can't help much here.

It's just that I am not sure how to handle it. The manual gives an example to dial into a system, wait for 5 seconds, send a username, wait for 5 seconds and send the password.

ATX4 DT5551234 @ 12345 @ 6789 @ 2<Enter>

However, VFP will continue to the next line right away. As VFP does not understand that there is some commands sent to the modem, does this mean we have to send everything we need to the modem in one line such as that one?

In my case, I am using timeouts. However, this doesn't allow me to control exactly the time. Sometimes, it'll take longer for the voice mail to kick in. So, when that happens, I may miss the correct point.

I'm not using ATX to dial. Is that what I should use?

Also, in that example, does this mean the first 5 seconds pause will only kick in as soon as the line is answering? Or is it 5 seconds from the startup of the command?

In that example, there is no special characters to be send such as the pound sign. In my case, if I would be able to send a dial, wait the line to be answered, send a pound sign and a few digits, I'll be ok.
