You will note that your sustem is waiting for the string ""\M^M\d^M\d^M
instead of waiting for nothing ( via a "" ) and then sending the rest of
it.

I have noticed that several of the "sysadm" type setups on the
AT&T product line are ocassionally wrong in what they do to the
Dialers file.  (my 3.1 stuff scrags the 2212 entry every time.)

going in and adding the space should make the whole thing go ok.
