Question:
How do I dial out from a Uniform Access computer?

Answer:
From the Uniform Access computers you can use the command 'telnet
dialout.cac.washington.edu' to reach a pool of dialout modems which
support 300 through 56k bps connections.  Long distance calls must be
made using UWATS numbers. 

You may also need to know: 

    (1) Tone dial must be specified. eg. 'atdt'
    (2) When placing a local or long distance call, a 'w' must be
        included in the dialing string after the '9' or '7'.
