have you tried using commas to get the dialer to pause

ATDT,,,1234567

I think each comma is a 1 or 2 second pause, pause long enough
and that should get around the messages dialtone and the machine
should be able to see the real dialtone.

you can probably turn off dialtone detection but I wouldn't
reccomend it, the above solution would be more ideal in my
opinion.

I think you can use as many commas as you need, no limitations.
