TinyTERM and TERM can dial a calling card, then enter an access code before dialing a modem number. You simply need to enter the entire calling sequence as the phone number, using commas to pause the dialing for two seconds each.

For example, suppose I need to dial 1-800-555-5555 to access my calling card. Six seconds later, it connects and asks for my PIN, which is 1111. Four seconds after that, I can dial the number I need, 801-268-3088. I would enter that number like this:

1-800-555-5555,,,1111,,801-268-3088

This assumes I don’t need to dial 1 for the actual number when using my calling card. You don’t actually need the dashes in the phone numbers, either. They’re ignored when dialing, but they do make it easier to read.
