I think my modem is working, but then again...
The avatek works wonderfully for local numbers when using the auto-dialer
in the pulse mode.  But when I try to dial long-distance numbers the
telephone company says I've misdialed.  Now I've checked this by hand and
its the right number so the modem (or me) is screwing up somehow.  I
wonder if any one else has had a similar experience or if I should take it
it for a tune-up.  Here's what I do and the resulting problem:
>ATDP17164582638                                 ;  command to dial modem
The modem clicks a lot here and I run to pick up another line to here what's
going on.
Operator:  Check the number or call Ma Bell.
The example in the avatek manual shows a long distance number being dialed
without the number 1 preceding the area code.  Surely this can't be
right.  I'll try this and also try a few other local numbers to see
if the modem has any other problems.  Any ideas?
