Re: [hylafax-users] hyphens in dialstrings

Ok, I understand what "+" does in a dial string, but "-" symbols are a

need
to add "+61-" to the start of the string. I also remove spaces, so I
end up
with "+61-0755251344".  Is this correct? Should I leave the hyphen off
(i.e.
"+610755251359"), os should I be leaving the leading 0 from the area
code
off?

Your modem should ignore any hyphens and plus-signs in dialstrings. But, to be on the safe side, I always strip them out. In other words, I recommend:


ATDT610755251359

instead of:

ATDT+61-0755251344
