Modem Not Dialing Long Distance Correctly

My Modem is dialing local numbers correctly by adding a 1 and the area
code, but when I ask it to dial a number outside of my area code it is
dialing something like 1 5 7902345 instead of 15167902345. I do not have
any dashes. I've tried switching from pulse to tone and back again, but
I get the same results. Any ideas? My modem is a PCI Soft Data fax Modem
with Smart CP, but I don't think that matters. Windows Vista Home
Premium.

Have you verified that you've correctly configured your "Locale" for
the fax-modem, so that it "knows" from where it is dialing?
