Simple (!?) XTALK question - how to disable timer?

This seems like a straightforward question but, for the life
of me, I cannot solve it. I am using XTALK XVI with my Hayes
compatible modem and trying to dial a number. When I type "GO"
the modem dials and starts ringing the other end. Simultaneously,
there is a timer (which starts at 40) which counts down but, 
unfortunately, it reaches 0 before the call is completed. How
do I disable this? I have scoured the manual but to no avail.
Any help would be appreciated.

Cheers,
-Graham
