So I take it you want to dial out with the modems on the PM-3, and NOT ISDN.

You don't want to use dial scripts with a PM-3. You're better using the
username, password, and telephone number fields in the location. Also,
how is authentication being handled here? I don't see any username or
password - does the other end not challenfe?

To use a modem on a PM-3 you need to so 'set loc locname analog on' for that
location.

I believe these commands are what you need to recreate the above:
yui> add loc test
Location test successfully added
yui> set loc test dest 172.24.95.1
test destination changed from 0.0.0.0 to 172.24.95.1
yui> set loc test netmask 255.255.255.255
test netmask changed from 0.0.0.0 to 255.255.255.255
yui> set loc test comp on
test compression changed from vj to on
yui> set loc test ifilter prod.in
New input filter set for location test
yui> set loc test max 1
test maximum port count changed from 0 to 1
yui> set loc test idle 2 min
test idle timeout changed from 0 to 2 minutes
yui> set loc test phone 8,6028603640
New telephone successfully set for location test

That results in:
yui> sh loc test
Location: test Type: Manual
Destination: 172.24.95.1 Netmask: 255.255.255.255
Protocol: PPP Options: Quiet, Compression, Multilink
Input Filter: prod.in Output Filter:
Group: 0 Max Ports: 1
Idle Timeout: 2 minutes High Mark: 0 bytes
Mtu: 1500 Async Map: 00000000
Username: Password:
Telephone: 8,6028603640

You could also do 'set loc test multi off' to turn of multilink, but I
wouldn't bother - since you have max ports of 1 it will never try another
anyway.

I think a comma in the phone number will cause a pause, which is what I
guessed the 'w' did in your external modem.
