DIALER.BA was first offered on tape #5 of "The California Series" in the club library, however it had some flaws in it. Being that it was one of the first programs that I ran and enjoyed I have taken it upon myself to fix it now that I understand more about BASIC and this machine. CALL 21200 has been changed to CALL 21172, this allows it to enter the dial routine without modem tone. I have moved the M/L subroutine to a safe area of machine memory above 62960 and added a pulsating tone which is guaranteed to get your attention. Also two new timing loops have been added, the following is a list of all timing loop functions:
D = pause for dial tone
R = ringing period
S = sound duration
T = tone frequency
Z = sleep between calls
I also found that I could easily get a full minute delay between calls by not defining "Z" as a integer, a loop runs slower when you don't define a variable as an integer. You may change R, D or Z to meet your own requirements!
