Max,

Sorry if I wasn't clear - I will try to be more careful in the future-

The good news is that I experimentally verified what you said. The 
following settings seemed to improve the dialing accuracy a bit:

PULSEBREAK=60
PULSEMAKE=40

Now one odd thing - the Digit Grabber still reports 13 PPS.

So I tried another variant - I multiplied each of the above by 13/10 on 
the assumption that if they are if fact absolute timings that doing so 
would get me closer to 10 PPS. That did NOT work, or at least the digit 
grabber still reported 13 PPS. Two possible conclusions:

1. The digit grabber is wrong.
2. The above values are some sort of % instead of absolute millisecond 
timings.
