     ^A       |  Aborts a call until the ACU transfers control to the modem
              |  when the "A" response is sent.
              |
     ^B       |  Initiates the call and prepares the automatic call unit (ACU)
              |  for numeric inputs.
              |
     ^C       |  When preceeded by a ^B, initiates redialing of the telephone 
     (^B, ^C) |  number previously entered.
              |
     <        |  Transfers the telephone line to the modem after a telephone
              |  number has been dialed by the ACU without looking for an
              |  answer tone (not normally used).
              |
     =        |  Access pause - holds dialing for an intermediate dial tone
              |

     A        |  The telephone line is transferred to the modem.
              |
     B        |  The communications link is not established. Either no dial
              |  tone was achieved within three seconds or no answer tone was
              |  obtained from the remote location within 27 or 52 seconds.
              |
     G        |  The automatic call unit has control; however, a ^B has been
              |  entered two consecutive times.

    Sounds like the "=" command is what you're looking for, although I
    don't know how you would apply it in your situation. I suppose
    something like:
        ^B5551234=5554321
    I'm not sure how you'd put this into a VLT script. I use VLTjr but gave
    up dialup scripts for lent. Luckily it is a local call for me, so it is
    pretty painless (besides, I got lazy and started stuffing the LAT login
    passwords in the scripts; definetely a no-no).
>	^Bnnnnnnnnn<CR>		- dial number n (any idea how many digits?)
                                                 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
                                                 How many can you type? ;^)
    Note that when autodialing, you don't need to enter a carriage return
    or control character to start dialing. Once you initiate the call
    (typing ^B), the DF03 immediately starts dialing after each digit is
    entered but unfortunately does not echo any of the numbers entered.
>	w			- insert a delay (5 sec?)
    I don't think the "W" command (blind dialing) is available. The DF03
    manual doesn't indicate what the access pause command ("=") pause time
    is, although a Scholar running in DF03 compatibility mode will wait 15
    seconds for a secondary dial tone.
    Hope this helps,
    Petey
