HELP IBM dip script does not dial pulse

Hi all,
I am using the IBM dip script to connect InterNet but
I do not the reason but I can not dial by pulse instead of
tones. It used to dial by pulse but after sometimes I do not
why it dials always by tones.
Normally I do not have problems but in some ocasions I can
not connect internet because the phone line only work by pulse.
I am using Slackware 2.3, kernel 1.2.8 and also I have compiled
1.3.49.
The first lines of the script are like follows:
-------------------------------[snip]-------------------------------
#LINUX DIP Script for the IBM Internet Connection

main:
  get $remote 129.37.0.0
  netmask 255.255.255.0
  # Set the desired serial port and speed.
  port modem
  speed 38400
  #send terminal databits 8\n
  send terminal flowcontrol rts\n
  send terminal telnet-transparent\n
  reset

  # Put in an appropriate modem string
  send ATQ0V1E1X4\r
  wait OK 10
  if $errlvl != 0 goto modem_trouble
  # your local access number
  dial 3933355
  if $errlvl != 1 goto modem_trouble
------------------------[snip]-----------------------
I always understood that when you do not put
an "t" at the end of the line " dial 3933355" it
should dial by pulse but it never happens.
I would appreciate any idea.
