I may be way out in left field, but don't the commas cause a delay? I think
that the above indicates a 5 sec. delay after the 800 number and a 1 sec
delay after the pin. It may also be that the comma doesn't represent a whole
second delay and you may need to experiment to get the right number of them
for the correct delay. 

Now please, if I'm wrong about this be gentle with me.
