[net.micro.cpm] Adaptive dialing with the ProModem 1200

NOLAND@USC-ISI.ARPA (Steve Noland) (08/01/85)

I recently tried using the adaptive dialing mode of my ProModem where
it is possible to determine if tone or pulse is necessary.  I have a 
tone line (on GTE, sigh...), and the call appeared to make the central
office think I was trying to make a "0" prefixed call, such as credit
card or whatever.  The funny "bong" tone appeared followed shortly by
a baffled operator.  Has anyone else had similar experiences, or can
someone offer advice on how to use the ProModem in this mode.  Normal
tone dialing works fine.

Thanks in advance,

Steve Noland
