:
Kermit does not know if your telephone connection supports tone dialing,
so by default it does not specify a dialing method. Most people have
configured their modems for Tone or Pulse dialing, as appropriate, and
saved the configuration. Furthermore, if you have never configured your
modem, its default dialing method is probably Pulse, which works
everywhere, and therefore Kermit's default is appropriate.
: BTW, I can manually do "set
: modem dial-command atdt%s\{13}, in a kermit session. In the script
: dialout (downloaded), I added the line, and it didn't work.
:
The order of commands can make a differnce; I would have to see the
script to explain this. Also watch out for peculariarities of certain
modems, such as:
http://www.columbia.edu/kermit/ckcbwr.html#x6.6
For more modem dialing hints and tips, read all of Section 6 of the
document referenced above.
Meanwhile, you didn't say which Kermit program or version you have, but
in general, the commands to set up a call are:
set modem type <name-of-modem>
set port <name-of-serial-port-device>
set speed 57600 ; or other speed
set dial method tone
dial <phone-number>
If you have Kermit 95 on Windows, the "set modem type" and "set port"
commands might need to be replaced by:
set port tapi <control-panel-modem-name>
If you wish, you can use the following command (before the DIAL command)
to watch the dialog between Kermit and the modem:
set dial display on
If you have Kermit 95, you can also set all this up in the Dialer GUI
dialogs, as explained in Help -> Kermit 95 Manual.
