When you tell HC to dial a number, it opens the serial port, asserting DTR along the way, sends the dial string, and closes the serial port (de-asserting DTR). If your modem is counting on DTR, then it will stop when it is de-asserted. You may have either a switch on the modem or a AT command that will tell it to ignore DTR.

If you are, then it could be a Time Manager incompatibility. The Time Manager was fixed for '030 machines, but it causes problems with programs running on 68000/68020 machines. Also, unless you have a IIx, IIcx or SE/30, or are running 32-bit Quickdraw, you don't need 6.0.3. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Glenn L.

Help! Here's the deal: I'm using HyperCard 1.2.2 with a Mac SE,
4 meg RAM, Packard Bell PB2400PLUS modem. I can't get it to dial!
It does 3 numbers and quits. The modem works fine with other applications.
Other modems work fine with the HC stack (BPhone 2.0b). Looking over
the various registers just leaves me more confused. This is such a
definite symptom I'm hoping someone will be able to zip off a note
saying something like 'just do an ATSx=y'.
Thanks for any help,

Need I mention the fact that the "dial" command only works at 1200 baud (maybe it was 300) and some modems won't work too well with this. A good example is to set a Trailblazer Plus to not autobaud (ats51=2 will set it for 2400) and the "dial" command will not work at all. How about: dial 123-4567 with "ATS51=2" at 2400 or so. Another problem is that when a Trailblazer is set to autobaud, it requires about 3 "a" characters to come from the computer before it will realize the serial port baud rate. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - Alexander M.

Here is another message about dialing with Hypercard...hopefully because of the many messages, this will be replied to quickly. Anyways, I have Hypercard 1.2.1 with an Avatex 1200e modem. I can't get it to dial past three numbers or something...anyways, it won't dial a full phone #. Anyone know what I can do to make it work? Along with this, I am also looking for a XMCD, script, etc. for hypercard that would allow for text transfers. Basically what I want to be able to do is capture text comming on the screen and then be able to or have it directly put into a scrolling field. Thanx......GORR@UWACDC.acs.washington.edu
