- If you are at work or in a hotel then you may
need to dial 9 to get an outside line. In that case,
place a 9,, in front of the phone number. Be sure
to put one or two commas after the 9 so that the
phone line will transfer before the modem starts
dialing.

number to force the modem to wait for a dial tone.
- For 10-digit dialing, put the area code in the
phone number box (not the area code box).
