No it wasn't a silly question...

If I try to dial a number in FD terminal using alt-P, alt-d or now alt-m it
doesn't dial ... I get a modem error.... when I say error I mean FD shows a
dialog box that says modem error.... then it starts the 10 second clock to
repeat this problem.  If I put the modem speaker on I can hear it dial a few
numbers, 11 being the magic amount of numbers, and the attempt fails...

NOW....
if I'm in the terminal window and manually type the numbers in... ATDT(then
the number) hit enter it dials the number and connects.

Hmmmmm....

I may start looking at the fossil I'm using, I'm currently using X00, the one
that came with my version of FD...

There you go... explained better I think.
