SUMMARY
Windows NT Terminal does not allow alphabetic characters in the phone number to be dialed.

For example, 9W1-234-5678 actually sends 991-234-5678 to the modem The 'W' normally instruct the modem to wait for a dial tone before proceeding with the phone number. However, Terminal sends different numbers for different alphabetic characters. The numbers correspond to the letters on the phone as follows:

  abc = 2 def = 3 ghi = 4 jkl = 5 mno = 6 prs = 7 tuv = 8 wxy = 9 Additional query words: prodnt
