Try using commas (,). eg:
1800CALLATT,,1234,,123455MYISP
The commas usually insert pauses into the dialing string. I
guess this is standard (I remember using it on Windows to cancel call
waiting (ie - *70,5551234) and I've used it under GNU/Linux also) but
I had to dig pretty deep for it. (I searched Google for `linux ppp
pause' and they gave a link to a 5 year old copy of the PPP HOWTO!)
There's no explicit way to tell it to `wait for a tone', not
that I'm aware of anyway, so you'll just have to play with the commas
until you get something that works. (ie - add or delete commas)
Also, I've been using WvDial for a while and I've found it
quite nice. You can define multiple calling profiles so that you
don't have to keep editing the script when you travel. You could have
a dialer profile for home (the default) and travel ( or something),
with home as the default. Then, whenever you're at home, a simple
`wvdial` will connect for you, but a `wvdial travel` will work when
you're away. I use this for when I visit my parents, so that I can
use thier ISP.
Anyway, how it works!
