Yes, you are correct.  I changed the script to

ECHO OFF
ABORT 'BUSY' ABORT 'NO CARRIER' ' ATZ OK-ATZ-OK
ATL1 OK ATM1 OK
'' SAY "Dialling...\n"
'' ATX3D01234567
TIMEOUT 120

and now it works.

IMHO, it would be less confusing if the send and expect strings had to
be typed using SEND and EXPECT commands.. ie.

SEND "ATZ"
EXPECT "OK"

Thanks for the reply!
