• P – dial using pulse. Dialing digits following the P will be sent using pulse dialing.
• T – dial using tone. Dialing digits after the T will be sent using touch tones.
• R – reverse frequencies. Forces the modem to dial out at the answering frequency.
• S=n – dial a pre-stored phone number n.
• W – wait for dial tone.
• @ - wait for quiet (answer).
• , (comma) – pause 2 seconds.
• ; (Semi-colan) – return to command mode after dialing.
• ! (exclamation point) – ash the switch hook.
