To my knowledge, it's how you dial, too, with pulse. I used to have
a modem in 1987 where you had only one wire to implement dialing.
Was working perfectly.

This was on a C-64.

However, I was hoping that the ATDP! command would do that for me.
I will try tomorrow to do an ATO then ATH then ATO to see if
I can get the new dialing tone.
