Dialup telephone credit card dialing rules doesn't work

If you have an ATT long-distance credit card, where you call an 800
number and dial in digits after voice prompts, followed by the long-
distance number of an internet provider, the result is that you get a
busy signal error message from your Windows XP dialer while the dialing
rules script is executing.

busy signal error message from your Windows XP dialer while the dialing
rules script is executing.

Since your modem determines whether it is a busy signal, perhaps it is
misidentifying it as busy (unless that is a generic XP error if it fails
to get a carrier or connect within the "Time between redial attempts" time
setting).

I have not used their 800 number, but I have connected from Win98 with
AT&T credit card where I had to configure it to dail 8 or 9 to get an
outside line, (commas to pause), 1 0 288 0, then phone number, (multiple
commas to pause for credit card tone), and then AT&T credit card number.
The only hard part was figuring how many commas to use for pauses (trial &
error)
