W wait for dial tone

The W modifier causes the modem to wait for a dial tone before dialing.

If the modem does not detect a dial tone within 30 seconds, it returns a

message of NO DIALTONE, hangs up and returns to local command

state.

You can change the dial tone waiting period from the default period of

30 seconds by changing the value in S Register 7.

FWhen using the W modifier, the length of time your modem waits for

a dial tone is determined by the value contained in S Register 7 (Wait

for Carrier) and not the value in S Register 6 (Wait for Dial Tone).

FUK Modems. Setting S Register 7 with a value above 58 may invali-

date the approval of your modem. S Register 7 must be set to 20 before

issuing the W dial modifier.

If the modem received any characters from the computer while it is

waiting for a dial tone, it will hang up, return to local command state and

send a NO CARRIER message.

For example:

To wait for a dial tone and then dial 111-0123:
