- Subject: Manual ARA Connections
- Having asked about this orginally I thought I would send the solution that I
- received from Jeffrey Multach of Ameritech. Looks like he got if from
- Applelink. I havent tried this yet, but I imagine you could modify any script
- to not wait for a dial tone and then rename it "whatevermodem manual dial" and
- select that script from the ARA Setup popup menu when you wanted to dial
- manually.

- TOPIC -----------------------------------------------------------
-
- I have a question about using a PowerBook 170 to communicate with a remote
- computer long distance. If I use a special discount phone service and have
- to talk to an operator to get access to the this line, when would I connect
- with the remote modem with Remote Access? Or can I even communicate using
- a phone service like this?
-
- DISCUSSION ------------------------------------------------------
-
- Yes, it's possible to dial manually and still connect using AppleTalk
- Remote Access. The "Apple Modem 2400 with X1" Remote Access Script allows
- this. You can download the attached script.
-
- Background Information
- ----------------------
- The PowerBook Modem normally waits to detect a dial tone before dialing.
- When dialing manually it's necessary to disable this feature so the modem
- will attempt to "dial without a number" and connect immediately.
-
- The only change to the original Apple Modem 2400 script was the addition of
- "X1" within the dial command:
-
- !
- ! The modem is ready so enable answering, or originate a call
- !
- ! To accommodate manual dialing,
- ! added X1 command to disable
- ! "wait for dial tone". - PDF 2/5/92
- !
- @LABEL 8
- pause 5
- ifANSWER 30
- note "Dialing ^1" 3
- write "ATX1DT^1\13"
-
- To use the new script, follow these steps:
-
- 1) Put the script in the Extensions folder.
-
- 2) Open the Remote Access Control Panel and select "Apple Modem 2400 with
- X1."
-
- 3) Open Remote Access and enter a single space in the Phone field. (If you
- leave the Phone field blank, a dialog box indicates "The connection
- attempt has failed. You have not specified a phone number in
- the connection document." Entering a space gets around it.)
-
- 4) Enter Name and Password as necessary.
-
- 5) Place the call manually (or through your operator).
-
- 6) The moment you hear the remote phone number ring, click "Connect" in
- the Remote Access window. (It takes about 5 seconds for the script to
- execute from the time you click "Connect" and when the modem goes off
- hook and actually tries to connect.)
-
- 7) The moment you see the "Communicating at xxxx bps" message in the Remote
- Access Status window, hang up.
