another possible way to fool it is to put the dialing commands in the
L.sys file, and make it think you are a direct connect line.  Then,
if you timeout in the send/expect sequence, you can instead of putting
the modem in a "wait for connect" mode, you keep it in command mode,
echoing characters sent.  You then put in a few "A A" (send A, expect A)
in your L.sys file, then at the end, put the modem back on line, just
in time for your long distance connection to be made!  Don't laugh, it
works (at least for a Hayes Smartmodem, I actually used it here for a while!).
