Post by: sid on February 28, 2005, 10:12:45 PM

Does anyone know how to add a pause when
programming a series of numbers into the
auto dialer?

I have the same question.  An automated phone system
has just been put into use, at my place of work.  The lag
time from the ringing to the pick-up is approx. 3 secs,
where just punching in my extension acess my office.
I'd like to be able to program my office number as well as
my cell

Unfortunately the thing isnt that smart and
if my memory serves me correctly I was told
that this could not be done...

When you use a regular dailup modem you can
add a coma ( , ) for a pause of one second.
but its a command that the modem was
programmed for. Unfortunately the auto dialer
does not have does commands programmed into
it. So no luck unless you are a electronic
wiz and you can program the microchip to
accept a code for a pause.
