Sorry, that rumor is not true. An external modem is an external modem.
AE Pro does not know how to operate it as an internal modem (utilizing the
D and H commands). You can, however, automate dialing and hang up in macro
sequences and end up with it doing more than even the D and H commands
afforded. There are examples of how to do this in the manual and macro
file examples on disk.
I assume you are a legal owner. If not, don't bother to reply.
Our new product, ASCII Express MouseTalk, for the //e, //c and GS uses a
Macintosh-like environment with pulldown windows and mouse control, and does
talk to all modems, including external ascii-controlled ones, in the same
manner so that you use all the standard commands.
I'll be happy to answer further questions about either product if you have
any.
