I am having trouble getting xtalk to automatically dial a number using
my 2400bps modem. I can set up the connection and dial the number just 
fine. However, while dialling, a timer appears at the bottom of the 
screen and, upon timeout (40 seconds or so), the process is terminated,
whether the telephone has been answered or not. In my case, the 
telephone has usually not been answered and so the call is aborted. As 
you may imagine, this is very frustrating. Is there any way of disabling
this timer. By the way, I am able to connect if I do everything 
manually, i.e. get into Xtalk and enter the AT commands manually.

As usual, the manual sheds not light on this subject. Any help would be 
appreciated.

Cheers,
-Graham
