DIALING HELP

DATAMAGE  will even dial the phone for you.  Provided of  course  that
your machine is equipped with a modem.  As the program initializes the
modem  at 300 baud almost any modem should work.  The commands  issued
to the modem are the most rudimentary:  dial a number and hang up.

The  program will use up to four com ports.  Usually the modem is  the
only com device connected and is on com one.  There are exceptions  to
this rule such as a serial printer plotter laser printer etc.

The program sends ATD plus either P or T (pulse or tone) to the  modem
then  the content of the current field.  The modem dials  the  number.
If your modem has a speaker (most do) it will amplify the ring and the
answer.   When the person answers pick up the phone and hit a  key  to
disconnect the modem.  Upon tiring of the ring press a key to hang up.
