{bb} Pager Problems

[Jack Davis <webmaster@bootheel.net>]

Ok, I have played around with numeric-k6.scr and found that when
I use kermit from the command line and send something like

ATDT1800mypager,,,,,,600xxxxxxxxxxxx1588810

just as the script does, I get an error.  If I leave off the last
seven digit code, it all goes through just fine. Any ideas on
how to edit BB to not send the seven digit code?

Thanks in advance,
