[comp.sys.ibm.pc] Dialing programs

downey@husc4.UUCP (01/22/87)

I have a Hayes Smartmodem 1200 and was wondering if there any programs out
there that will allow automatic redialing.  For example you are trying to 
call a BBS, but it is always busy, or you absolutely need to get a hold of
a the U.S. Department of Whatever (guaranteed to be busy).  Does anyone
know of a program that can redial at user specified intervals and recognize
when the phone is picked up at the other end?

There are a number of pd/shareware communications programs available
that allow automatic redialing.  Procomm is one, Boyan-C1 is
another.  Just call up your local BBS(s) and look for their
communications section.

Hope this helped.
