[comp.sys.mac.hypercard] Stack Dialing

gillies@p.cs.uiuc.edu (07/24/88)

I'm sorry to repeat something that has probably been asked before.....


I am having troubles getting my phone stack to dial numbers.  Whatever
I tell it to dial (e.g. "dial "3446824" with modem, etc), the receiver
never goes off-hook.  I have tried prepending "ATDT" / "+++ATDT" in
all sorts of ways with no effect.  I can see the data going to the
modem (on the modem lights), and the modem responds, but nothing
happens.  Hypercard is putting my 2400-baud modem in 1200-baud mode,
for some reason.

For long distance, my goal is to dial MCI (950-1022, 0<number>,
<password>).  I don't really use it for local dialing.

Can someone tell me how to make my phone stack dial?  Please respond
via e-mail.  Thanks.

A somewhat related question:  how do you make the phone stack output the
tones corresponding to '#' and '*'?  Simply using those characters doesn't
do the trick.
