Yes, exactley, it does dial and then it reports a loss of dial tone.
Unfortunately there is no audible clue to whats going on, only whats on
the terminal screen. I don't understand how it could lose a dialtone in
this manner. The phone works fine otherwise.
What appears is basically this:
D 555-1212
555-1212
Ring
Ring
No dial

Well, if its supposed to be looking for dialtone, then why is the line
ringing up to three times? Unless you're saying it actually does dial the
