I had the same problem at first. The solution was in the Devices file: You must end the device line entry with a \D or \T (the \T forces translation of alpha codes through the Dialcodes feature.) As a telephone engineer, I find this feature very useful. I can use the same Systems lines on several machines and modify only the Dialcodes for the local machines needs (some need a 9- in front of outside calls, etc.) On all SCO supplied C coded dialer programs I have seen, the \T is required (not so on entries in the Dialers file).
