There could be a lot of reasons the dial command isn't supported in Revolution. I have not tried to use the alternative approaches, but what looks potentially promising for what you want to do is the write to file command with modem as the file identifier. This is documented and may do what you want.

Hello,

With Hypercard, it was very very simple to dial a phone number ( dial "05 02 00 00 00 for ex" with modem ).
Only you click with one hand on a button to dial and with other hand you take your téléphone to your ear.


Why it is impossible to dial with Revolution ?
(I am under OS X)

I try :

close driver "/dev/cu.modem"
open driver "/dev/cu.modem"
write "ATDT"&PhoneNumber&CR to  driver "/dev/cu.modem"
read from driver "/dev/cu.modem" until eof
(write "ATH"&cr to driver "/dev/cu.modem"
read from driver "/dev/cu.modem" until eof)

With Revolution you must think when you must click on the button to dial, when you must lift the receiver, when you must hang up, etc....
And most often, the application crash.


Could you help me, or not ?

I am not an informatician.

Thanks

Edouard
