Well ... let's tease it apart.
AT standard command prefix (why they are called "AT" commands)
S7=255 puts value 255 in register 7
X3 this is the X3 command I and others suggested
you try to turn off dialtone detection
DT the prefix for a DTMF ("Touch-Tone") dial
So ... the open question is: what does register 7 do? I don't know how
standard this is, but in the modem manual I checked, it tells the modem how
long (in seconds; default is 50, range 1-255) to wait for carrier before
giving up and hanging up.
Why does it work? Beats me, if you found that "ATX3DT" by itself did not
work. If you didn't previously find that, then it works because X3 is the
right command, as we guessed it might be.
