Windows NT Terminal does not allow alphabetic characters in the
phone number to be dialed.
For example, 9W1-234-5678 actually sends 991-234-5678 to the modem The
'W' normally instruct the modem to wait for a dial tone before
proceeding with the phone number. However, Terminal sends different
numbers for different alphabetic characters. The numbers correspond to
the letters on the phone as follows:
abc = 2
def = 3
ghi = 4
jkl = 5
mno = 6
prs = 7
tuv = 8
wxy = 9
