Default Dial Up Properties- Calling Card Setup

None of the three "Wait" functions on the "Edit Calling Card" window wait.
All of the numbers get dialled all at once with no pauses.

Tried with internal and external modems which should eliminate modem driver
issues. Upgraded Vista to SP1, no change.

The Comment associated with "Alternate Phone Numbers" gets deleted when the
alternate number becomes active.

Default Dial Up Properties- Calling Card Setup

To get a 1 sec. pause, insert a comma " , " into the dial
string. Easier than trying to get the broken "Wait" stuff
to work - I gave up on that clear back at Windows 95.

For example:

,,,,,6025551212

will wait 5 sec, then dial 6025551212.

This works especially well on the "dial 9 to get outside
line" stuff you run into at hotels:

,,,,,9,,,,,6025551212

Thanks for the reply.
This is almost funny in a really sick kind of way.
When I put commas in the specify digits box and save it, the specify digits
turns into a "Wait n seconds" function of the number of commas
If I mix numeric digits and commas it strips all the commas out and just
leaves the number.
And it won't let me type commas in any of the number boxes.
