Re: [hylafax-users] I get No dial tone

["Joey Officer" <jofficer@users.sourceforge.net>]

although this is trvial, some phone lines wait a second or so before giving
you an actual dial tone, try modifing the dial string to the following

ATDT,

the "," (comma) adds a one second pause before attempting to dial the phone,
this is very similar to the *70, addition used when dialing into a internet
service provider.

give it a try, it couldn't hurt
