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).
