Does issuing the command "atdt1234567,,,,,54321" cause the modem to
dial 1234567, wait 10 secs, and then *dial* 54321, or does it
*transmit* "54321"?  If it's supposed to dial-wait-dial, then I can't
immediately think of what might be the problem. If it's supposed to
dial-wait-xmit, then the safe way to do this is:

atdt1234567<CR><OA-A>CONNECT<CR>54321

this would dial the modem and then sit and wait for the CONNECT string
before proceeding.

I am assuming from your description that you actually have 2 computers
with modems - one calls the other for your test. Is this correct?
