- Fix for Sidekick Dialer problem. Courtesy Dr. Bob's Utilities (by way of
- Borland Int'l and MultiTech Systems)
-
- Sidekick's auto-dialer has a bug which prevents it from working on some
- Hayes-compatible modems that are not completely Hayes compatible (some older
- Multi-Tech's for example). In SK.COM, the dialing command used is ATTD
- instead of ATDT. To fix the dialer you can use Debug or the Norton
- Utilities to patch this. (The older Norton version with SM is easier to
- use for this.) The bug is in the 63rd sector of SK.COM at offset 410
- (19A hex). Change ATTD to ATDT. If you must use Norton 3.0, have SK.COM on
- a floppy and either figure out where the 63rd sector of SK.COM is or
- search the file space for ATT. When I did this, Norton's find was off by
- one sector. The bug was in the sector AFTER the one Norton pointed to.
- Correcting this bug will fix both tone and pulse dialing. To use pulse
- dialing the P preceeding the number must be in upper-case.

- Have fun,
- Dr. Bob
