Hi - I am a long time OOP user, Rev fan and message board lurker. I
have a totally off topic question. Many years ago I built a program that
will dial a phone number through the modem port and then hang up. My
handset is on a Y connection to the phone line so it stays open and I
can speak to the dialed number. The program records all the time date
info etc so it is very handy for keeping track of things. Originally I
wrote it in HyperCard then SuperCard etc where a simple "Dial" command
followed by the number was sufficient. Unfortunately Rev does not have
this function. However back in 2005 ago there was a brief discussion
about this online and I was very lucky to find this little piece of code
that works perfectly for my PC.
put "*67" before theNumber
open file "com3:" for write
write "ATS7=1L0DT" & theNumber & cr to file "com3:"
wait 5 secs
close file "com3:"
I do not understand much of this, but it appears that it's usual
function is to dial a fax machine in order to transmit letters etc.
My problem is that I want to use this dialing program on my iMac running
OS X but unfortunately it does not function there. I imagine the
dialing code is similar, but figuring it out is beyond my expertise.
Does anyone have any suggestions at to what to do, where to look, who to
ask, etc ?
Cheers
Gary
