SUMMARY
In Windows 2000 you can set up dialing rules, and different locations from which to dial. One of the options available in each location is whether to use tone dialing or pulse dialing. Pulse dialing is required in some areas of the world because not all phone switching equipment supports tone dialing. To use pulse dialing, you must set up a dialing location with pulse dialing selected. You must also configure your Dial-Up Networking (DUN) connection using these dialing properties, or the connection reverts to tone dialing.



MORE INFORMATION
After you create a DUN connection, you can edit its properties by right-clicking the connection in the "Network and Dial-up Connection" window, and then clicking Properties. On the General tab, there is an option to edit the phone number. There is also a check box called "Use area code and dialing rules". If this check box is not selected and you have dialing rules set to use pulse dialing, the connection attempts to dial using tone dialing. There are two ways to use pulse dialing from this point:
 * Enable Dialing Rules with a location set to use pulse dialing.
 * Type P before the number. For example, P555-1212 instead of 555-1212.
