To configure phone number modifiers
1.. Open Network Connections.
2.. Select the dial-up connection you want to configure, and then, under Network Tasks, click Change settings of this connection.
3.. On the General tab, modify the phone number by using one or more characters from the following list.
Character Function
, (comma) Pauses briefly (two seconds for most modems) before continuing.
P Switches from touch-tone to pulse/rotary dialing.
T Switches from pulse/rotary to touch-tone dialing.
$ Waits for a calling card prompt tone.
For example, when you dial in from a hotel room, you may have to add 9 to the number you are calling to get an outside line. Your number may look similar to the following:
9,555-0100
The comma after the 9 gives a pause long enough to get an outside line before continuing to dial the full number.
Notes
a.. To open Network Connections, click Start, click Control Panel, and then double-click Network Connections.
b.. You must be logged on as an administrator or a member of the Administrators group in order to complete this procedure. If your computer is connected to a network, network policy settings may also prevent you from completing this procedure.
c.. By selecting the Use dialing rules check box, and then clicking Dialing Rules, you can create a location for which specific dialing rules automatically apply. For example, if you frequently connect from home and need to disable call waiting, you can create a location for use from home that automatically dials the code to disable call waiting before the connection call is placed.
d.. If you see unfamiliar characters being dialed before your number, check to make sure the Use dialing rules check box is not selected. If it is selected, a location may be enforcing a dialing rule that you do not need. For example, a location may be selected that always dials 1 to accommodate long-distance dialing.
