-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DIRNUM              alphanumeric        Directory Number
                    (up to 30           Enter a dial-back DN.  In addition to the normal
		    characters          digits found in a telephone number, the following
		    with no             special characters are used to control the dialing
	            imbedded		of the number
                    blanks)

                    Char/Digit          Meaning
		    ----------          -------
		    0 to 9              A digit

		    A                   Ignored on Rixon modem; abort call if no dial tone
		                        on CTS212AH modem.
	            
		    D                   Ignored on Rixon modem; automatic dial the rest of
		                        the number on the CTS212AH modem.
		    
		    N                   # (valid only if selected dial type is tone)

		    P                   Pulse dial the rest of the number

		    S                   * (valid only if selected dial type is tone)

		    T                   Tone dial the rest of the number

		    W                   Wait a few seconds (modem dependent Rixon: 4 seconds)

		    _                   Ignored (for clarity only)

		                        In some cases the command interpreter (CI) can disallow
					certain combinations of characters and digits in field
					DIRNUM.  For example, the DN 9A5551212 (which specifies
					that the call is aborted if there is no dial tone after
					dialing 9) can be misinterpreted by the CI because it
					looks like a valid hexadecimal address.  To solve this
					problem, an underscore (_) can be inserted preceding the
					number, for example, _9A5551212.
