I have no idea why this has been posted to unix-pc.general -- if you're using
Procomm on an internal modem that is surely on some kind of PC/AT???

However, to answer the question:  the first thing to find out is whether your
phone is pulse instead of tone.  I don't have Procomm in front of me, but one
of the screens -- I think Modem Settings -- has a setting for the dial prefix.
It should be ATDT.  Try changing it to ATDP and see if this works.
