You can do it in one long dial string using commas to make space between your
phone numbers, or you if it gives you a second dial tone, there is a dial 
command that makes the modem listen for a second dial tone before it 
continues.  I can't find my manual right now, but it is in there, right 
nearthe front.
Hope that Helps,

Hello Warren,

Yup, but _only_ as long as the line conditions remain constant..

Its _ALL_ dependant on how _long_ the line remains _stable_ and that can
vary a lot, I've not got a 33k6 modem only a 14k4, but if I enable fall
forward connects, I can find on some calls quite a bit of retraining due
to the line having *random* noise on it, might be twice a call, might be
20 times a call.. or it might be damm near every second:-(
                 Cheers,
                         Cliff
