To have Terminal dial a number for you, click
Dial
to bring up the “Dial” screen.
You need to tell the Dialer a few things about
your phone system, such as whether it uses
tone or pulse dialing, what digit, if any, you
need to dial to get an outside line, and whether
the dialer should wait between dialing that digit
and the rest of the number. Once you provide
this information, simply enter the phone number
as if you were dialing a telephone. Click
Dial
Now
to dial the number.
You can end a call by clicking

bottom of the screen.
When you are finished using Terminal, click
Exit
to return to the screen you accessed it
from.
