I added one line, InitTextDev(output);, to the program that sent data
to my screen rather than my modem. I found that it then accessed my
modem, but did not actually dial. I'm still wondering what do I need to do to
dial through my modem?
#pragma keep "test"
#include <stdio.h>
#include <orca.h>

main ()
{
DeviceRec olddevicerec;
long modemslot=2;
olddevicerec = GetOutputDevice ();
SetOutputDevice (basicType,modemslot);
InitTextDev (output);
WriteCString ("+++atdp18009991234");
SetOutputDevice (olddevicerec);
}

The problem with your code is the string you sent to your modem. Remove the +++ from the string. I assume your modem isn't on-line when you dial, so why the +++? If you need the +++ string you have to pause before sending your dial string. UUCP: bkj386!pnet91!mhill INET: mhill@pnet91.cts.com

I want to thank everyone who responded to my query about dialing a modem
using Orca/C. It turned out that I merely had to put a carriage return
at the end of each dialing command, eg
WriteCString("18005551212\r");
Unfortunately, I still have a problem. I've found that in order to send
pulses or tones through my modem using texttools, I apparently need to
InitTextDev(output) before each attempt, or else interim actions mess things
up, but that initialization also hangs up the phone line. I need to be able
to send tones through an open line without hanging up, so I think I need to
use FWEntry to use firmware routines. The <misctool.h> file with Orca/C
conflicts with the operand description in Apple's Toolbox Reference, so I
wonder if anyone can send me an example of a call to FWEntry. I need to
be able to put a specific value in the accumulator and call a routine at
a certain memory location.

CSERIO has routines such as SerialInit(MODEMSLOT); and SerialWrite(char);.. as well as Firmware Interface routines to access the firmware commands such as Drop DTR among others.. I have since evolved GenericComm since I used CSERIO, but it was invaluable for what it allowed me to do. Matthew --- ventureTech Intelligence - We're trying to make computer easy, SOME HOW!
