- 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.
