Dialing out with the AccelePort RAS on an analog line with voicemail results in a "No Dialtone" error

Symptom:

When you try dialing out on an analog line that has voicemail tied to it, the AccelePort RAS will not recognize the initial tone you get indicating a voicemail message and will report "No Dialtone".

Cause:

The AccelePort RAS is looking for the standard dial tone and because of the initial difference in tones isn't able to determine that a phone line is connected.

Solution:

You will have to add an X3 before the dial string to inform the AccelePort RAS not to look for a dial tone.

For example, to make an outbound call with Hyperterminal you would type:
AT X3 DT5551212
