set [the] dialingTime to numberOfTicks
The dialingTime property sets or returns the total length of time (in ticks) that HyperCard leaves the serial port open while dialing a modem.
The default value for numberOfTicks is 180, where 60 ticks = 1 second.
Note: dialingTime is not reset to its default value at idle time.
HyperCard maintains the value that you set for this property for the duration of the HyperCard session.
