Hello, Here is a different version of the redial script for Talk is Cheap to redial (repeatedly) the last number until a connection is established. The last script had the number to be dialed hard coded and is useful for commonly dialed numbers, but this one can be used for those spur of the moment..."Hmmm, I think I'll try calling this system today". Install this in the tic directory as tic.key.r (I use r for redial) and add a line to tic.macros: rAutomatic Redial Note that this script uses the Hayes command a/ (redo last command), so whatever was last given to the modem will be repeated (AT is kind of boring...OK OK OK OK ;-) Have fun, Dan ------- cut here ------- # # Automatic redial script for TIC # # Will automatically redial the last dialed number (see a/) # until a connection is made.
