[comp.sys.mac.hypercard] extra digit in phone

Sounds like it depends on what modem you are using.. if your modem
is 'hayes compatible' (ie, uses the "AT" command set) you can 
'return to command mode' after a dial command by appending a
semicolon to the end... ie, for me to dial a number then dial more,
I'd send:
AT DT9,9888762;     
AT DT1234;
These commands will dial the digits... the first AT DT command
I send without the semicolon will cause the modem to start 
looking for carrier, etc.
(If yu need delay in there.. use the comma.  If you want to dial,
wait until the party answers, then dial more..
AT DT9,9888762,,,,,;     /*  wait about 5 secs  */
AT DT1234;               /*   then dial the new digits  */
You should be able to hack this into hypercard easily.. maybe
just by including the ; and , in your number string.
