Telephone Numbers

Telephone Number Helpers are useful if you have very simple requirements, or you can't be bothered setting up any Resource Helpers. In fact, you may want to start with Telephone Numbers, and move onto Resource Helpers as you become more familiar with Black Night.

Quite simply, these helpers are a list of telephone numbers. You can modify this list from within the "Apple Modem Tool" (if available), the "Serial Modem Driver", or by clicking the "Modify" button in the "Helpers" dialog box (select "Helpers" from the "Edit" menu).

When you select a Telephone Number from the "Helpers" menu, Black Night will locate the Default Window, revert it back to the Default Settings, change the Telephone Number, and then Connect.

If you have a Telephone Number that has the same name as a Resource Helper or Document, then the Telephone Number will not appear in the "Helpers" menu.

Apple Modem Tool Phone Numbers

All telephone numbers are stored in the file "Apple Modem Tool Phone Numbers". This file is shared with the Apple Modem Tool. Normally, Black Night will resolve any name conflicts that may occur between these entries and your documents or resource helpers.

If you would prefer to manage this file yourself, simply include a comment or a separator line, and I'll reproduce it exactly as you've left it.
