Does anyone know if is possible to get a USR Courier HST to
pause for a "bong" tone (the tone you get after you enter a
telephone number with a leading "0" after which you can
enter your calling card number)?  I know that I can get it
to:

	*  just wait for 2 seconds (',')

	*  wait for 2nd dial tone ('W')

	*  wait for an answer ('@')

I frequently have to call to the other end of the state and
it seems like there must be a better way than simply trying
over and over again until you "hit" the correct number of
commas (ranges from 4-12 depending on the network).

If this feature is not supported, is there a compelling reason
why?

Thanks, in advance.

Bruce
