Yes, Greg that will work just fine as long as your modem is in
echo mode (ATE1), Else it will not work! Yes, From the factory
most modems have ATE1 set versus ATE0.
Not something I like to bank on.. (I don't trust manufactures)

I find ATDT is much easier to rely on. It can be heard, Even
if your modem speaker is set to ATM0 you will get a `click` from
the modem.

-Enjoy
