It's real easy in *any* version of the HDB-UUCP version of the BNU.

Here's what we do to over-come the excessive wait sometimes imposed by
our "phone-system" for connecting long-distance calls:

hayesne	=,-,	"" \M\p\r\pAT\r\c OK\r ATS7=60\r\c OK\r ATDT\T\r\d\d\d\d\d\d\d\d\d\d\c CONNECT \m\c

(For anyone who's news transport system munged the previous line, well,
it contains a series of '\d's, and then a '\c', immediately after the
"ATDT\T\r".)

S7 tells the Hayes (clone) modem to wait 60 seconds for carrier.  The
'\d's are 2 second delays each.  (A '\p' is only a 1/4-1/2 second pause.)
