What does it do?
----------------
[ BBS DIALER ] - Dialing directory interface provides easy calling and phone
book management. Circular dialing, call waiting support , credit card support,
and phone prefixes make this one of the best dialers ever for calling BBSs!
Features Benefits
-------- --------
Dialing Directory Interface Uses standard 'dialing directory' user
interface for simple dialing. Also
allows you to dial lots of places
without having to create lots of
comdocs.
Intelligent Dialing Directory You tell it what your local area code
is and it knows whether your call is
long distance or not and adds the
appropriate dialing command. Change
your local area code when traveling
and you'll never have to edit another
dialing directory on the road again!
Simple ASCII Dialing Directory format Let's you maintain dialing directories
as a simple text file for easy editing
of entries. This makes it easy for you
to make your own dialing directories
and exchange them with other users. No
more fiddling around trying to enter
more phone numbers in your comm
program.
Multiple Dialing Directory Support Allows easy switching between dialing
directories and stores as many entries
as permitted by disk space.
Many dialing directories included Tons of BBSs included with the sample
directories, so you can start calling
all types of BBSs throughout the
country - right away!
Circular dialing If call doesn't go through , it
continues to redial the list until
it connects or until you cancel.
Windows Sound Support You can assign different windows WAV
files to play when the script loads,
a connection is established or a
connection attempt has failed.
(Requires Soundblaster or equivalent
and third party WAV player.)
Credit Card Dialing Saves money when making long distance
calls when away from your home or
office. Makes using a credit card with
a modem a no-fuss option.
* Version 2.0 - Added support for long
distance access codes if you and your
hotel use different long distance
carriers.
Phone Prefix support Adds the prefix such a 9 to
dial an outside line on internal
phone systems. Hotel support for
different prefixes for local and long
distance calling.
Call Waiting Disable Option Let's you easily disable call waiting
while using the modem and call waiting
is automatically turned back on when
the mode hangs up!
