(called AmigaTerm I believe) a few years ago and have lost the manual. The command for calling local numbers (which works perfectly) is `atdt 5551234'. The atdt stands for Autoomatic Dial Tone. Can any one tell me what command(s) are needed to make a connection over the 800 lines? If this is not the correct group to ask the question in, where should I post this question. Thank you, Thom

It seems to be on >most BBS' I've seen. AmigaTerm works just fine under 1.3.2. It came with my A2232 board (since many term progs. don't understand multiple serial ports {yea! JRComm!}). Anyway, it runs fine on my old 1000 (without the A2232) and on my 2000! On a more practical note: DOES ANYONE KNOW WHERE I CAN FTP JRCOMM 1.0? I've been looking all over for it, but none of my usual (or unusual :-) ftp sources seem to have it. -- Matt *~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~* % "Progress is an up-hill battle % mrush@csuchico.edu % % against backwards compatibility." % mrush@cscihp.UUCP % % -- me % % Now: mrush@cscihp.ecst.csuchico.edu % *~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~* This is a SCHOOL!

If this is not the correct group to ask the question >in, where should I post this question. > Thank you, > Thom Actually, the command string 'ATDT 5551234' (some modems require upper case commands, most don't these days) is a bit more complex than you realize, Thom. The first two characters, 'AT' are used to get the modem's "ATtention" so it can treat the rest of the string as a command. The next character, 'D', puts the modem into the "Dial" mode. At this point, the modem expects to see a string of characters (and subcommands) to use while dialing. The subcommands you are likely to use are: T - Tone (DTMF) dial P - Pulse dial , - Pause for (default) 2 seconds Hence, to dial an 800 number you might enter 'ATDT18001234567<CR>' or, since the space and dash are ignored 'ATDT 1-800-123-4567<CR>'. Now, if you were to call from an office location that did NOT support "Touch-Tone(tm)" calling, but you needed touch-tone to access the 800 number, and you needed to dial 99 to get to the outside phone system, you would have to select pulse dial, dial th 99, change to tone dial, wait to get the outside line, then dial as before. The command might look like this: 'ATDP 99, T1-800-123-4567<CR>' ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~|| ~~| | \_Number to dial | || | | | | || | | \__Go to TONE dial mode | || | | | || | \____Wait for 2 secs. | || | | || \______Get an outside line. | || | | \________Go to PULSE dial mode. | | | \_________Begin DIAL command. | \___________Put modem in COMMAND mode. Hope this clears things up a bit. Most of this should really be covered in your MODEM manual, not the manual that comes (or didn't come) with the terminal program you are using. --- Cal ____ HOBBIT / / / 340 Meg Online HOLE / / / 12/24/9600HST bps AMIGA: ____ / / / Exclusively Amiga \ \ \/ / / "Best Amiga BBS in FL" The computer for the BEST of us! \ \ \/ / July, 1989 Final List(tm) \_\_\/ A comfortable place to meet -------------------------------------- Cal Jones, Sysop. 904-243-6219 24Hrs
