So we looked into what it would take to implement dial strings with AT modems. The consensus was that passing the entire string to the driver was a bad idea as most modems simply do not support pause characters and have strict limitations on the number length. The best idea we have came up with so far is to parse the string passed to dial and separate the actual number from the dial string. The dial string then gets assigned to a separate property on the voice call object (see Dial String task in the TODO). We would then extend the call state logic to queue the dial string the same as a DTMF once the call is active. If you study the DTMF logic, you will note that Andrew has recently made it into a tone queue. Today we burst up to 8 (arbitrarily picked number) DTMF tones per driver request. What we could do is send a single tone at a time. In theory this would allow us to emit the Tone Started / Tone Stopped signals (please see the provide feedback of sent DTMF tones task) as well. It sounds like the ISI modems already work this way and are nicely covered by this approach...
