Call the number by hand: time how long it takes between ringing the
telephone, and needing to dial the PBX number. Then use a number
something like "1.555.555.5555,,,xxxx" where "xxx" is the PBX number,
and each "," tells the modem to wait for three seconds before dialing
the next number.

It's a dirty trick, but it's much faster than re-writing the modem
protocols to deal with this.
