Is it possible to use the Modem just to dial phone numbers so that it will let you pick-up the phone to talk ? I know that this sound a little weird, but I have a Touch Tone telephone which can not be used in Pulse Mode, an Emerson 2400EX Modem (Hayes compatible), and a Pulse Telephone Line, (Am I cheap?) I would appreciate any suggestions, thanks you, Guillermo e-mail: GZGJ@VAX5.CIT.CORNELL.EDU

Or, you could try to do pulses with the switchhook :-) -- Matthew T. Russotto russotto@eng.umd.edu russotto@wam.umd.edu ][, ][+, ///, ///+, //e, //c, IIGS, //c+ --- Any questions?

Sure... the way to do it would be to get either a terminal program, or a DA like Qdial, and instruct the modem to call the number yuou want. (In a terminal program the procedure would be ATDP(for pulse) then the number) After the modem has finished dialing, pick up the phone, then cancel the modem's dial. That oughta do it. -- /\ Jay Giurleo Worcester Polytechnic Institute /\/\ jayg@wpi.wpi.edu Box 2080 /\/\/\ 100 Institute Road /\/\/\/\ Worcester, MA 01609

You can dial any touchtone with a Mac and hypercard's Phone stack -- just stick your phone receiver near the Mac's speaker. No modem needed. The phone and address stacks will even remember all the phone numbers that you want. -- Don Don.Gilbert@Iubio.Bio.Indiana.Edu biocomputing office, indiana univ., bloomington, in 47405, usa
