Some kind soul, perhaps in this group, sent me some mail on how to do it
and I heartily recommend it.  My site is on a #5 crossbar switch and doesn't
even have real touch tone (you can hear it ratchet after the tones go in).
The pre-Telebit days taught me to put S7=50 in the dial string, but the kind
soul gave me the key to hooking up with the site who has PEP tones last
(one of my lines does it, my USR Courier 24 just _freaks_ out when it hears
PEP tones).

The idea is to delay for ten seconds or more after dialing before looking
for any result codes.  In HoneyDanBer terms this means
DIALNUMBER\d\d\d\d\d\d\d\d\d\d CONNECT\sFAST \m\c
In Xenix it means changing your dial program so that it doesn't look for
the results until there has been ample time for the remote modem to get
to the PEP tones.  Here I have two dial scripts, one for sites with PEP
tones first and it looks pretty normal, the other for PEP tones last and it
delays a lot before looking for result codes.  The key ingredient is to
keep your modem from giving up with S7=somthing big, I use 50 and then
keeping the dialer busy so that it won't time out looking for the result
code.

I hope that helps, I wish someone could duplicate my problem with no
extended results < PEP speeds :-(
