   After dialing, the M100 will simply hang up if the string "<>" or
"<auto-logon-sequence>" is not at the end of the phone number. It's set
up this way to allow M100 auto-dial for voice calls, i.e. while it's
dialing you pick up the phone...

   You could use this method for dialing in to other computers, where
after you hear the carrier tone you then press TERM and then hang up the
phone.  To have this done automatically requires simply adding a "<>"
to the end of the phone number string, e.g.  Telcom: dial 111-2234<>
then M100 will wait for carrier tone after dialing (possibly forever!
since it doesn't know about busy signals, etc.) and automatically
connect and go into TERM mode when it gets the carrier.

   If you want a M100 auto-dial/redial program, that will wait about 15
secs for carrier, then hang-up, wait 15 more secs and re-dial again
if carrier is not sensed (great for dialing in to numbers that are
frequently busy), contact me by mail & I will send it.
