Q104163

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Windows NT Server version 3.1
Microsoft Windows NT Workstation version 3.1
Microsoft Windows NT Advanced Server, version 3.1

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
