- |--------------------------------------------|
-
-
- Welcome To The World Of WarGames Dialers! If you are a past user
- of the ULTRA-DIAL series or a new one, you will find ULTRA-DIAL
- version 5.1 to be an utterly different and amazing program.

- 1.0 MINIMUM CONFIGURATION
- -------------------------
-
- To operate ULTRA-DIAL v5.1 with optimum performance, the
- following equipment is required:
-
- o IBM PC or XT with 256k
- o One disk drive (floppy or hard/fixed)
- o Hayes 1200 External Modem (internal is questionable)
- o Any brand 80-column line printer
-
- THE HAYES MODEM REQUIRES the following switch settings for
- this program to detect and process carriers correctly.
-
- SWITCH .................... 12345678
- SETTING ................... UUDUDUUD
-
- If these settings are not maintained during the operation of
- ULTRA-DIAL v5.1, errors may occur in all aspects of the program.
- ULTRA-DIAL v5.1 will now has the possibility of supporting
- other than Hayes modes, such as compatibles like Anchor
- Automations's various models which require a special hang-up
- method.
-
- 2.0 ULTRA.CNF CONFIGURATION
- ---------------------------
-
- Version 5.1 offers the versatility of a configuration file
- for your convenience. When you first boot ULTRA51, you will
- be asked to create the file ULTRA.CNF, the following is
- a description of the questions that are asked.
-
- Communications Port.......... Select COM1: or COM2: with 1 or 2
- Baud Rate.................... Open and operate the modem at 300
- baud or 1200 baud. I suggest you
- open the modem at 300 for safety.
- Wait Time During Call........ How long to wait per call for a
- carrier tone to be transmitted.
- Modem speaker................ Select Y to have the Hayes modem's
- internal speaker on, otherwise it
- will default to your modems normal
- speaker setting (if any).
- Tone or Pulse Dialing........ Select if ULTRA-DIAL should use
- TONE for dialing or PULSE.
- Communications mode.......... Select mode 1 for the normally used
- ULTRA-DIAL method of hang-up. Or,
- if you are using a modem such as
- Anchor Automation's modems, select
- 2 for an alternate method of hang-
- up (escape, then ATZ).
-
- To create a new ULTRA.CNF, simply delete the old one.
-
- *IMPORTANT* If you tell ULTRA-DIAL to open the modem at 1200
- baud, it will only be able to detect 1200 BAUD NUMBERS! I highly
- suggest that you set the baud rate at 300 for the best detection.
-
-
- 3.0 START A DIALING ROUTINE
- ---------------------------
-
- This is the primary part of the program. The following is a
- description of the prompts.
-
- Enter prefix............. If you would like a prefix to be placed
- before EVERY number (i.e. for MCI), you
- may place that data here otherwise you
- hit <ENTER> for none.
- Enter LOW number......... This is where you enter the low (also
- called starting) number in the dialing
- sequence. (i.e. 9861673)
- Enter HIGH number........ This where you enter the high (also
- called ending) number in the dialing
- sequence.
-
- DO NOT USE HYPHENS IN THE LOW AND HIGH NUMBERS!! You may,
- though, use commas is the PREFIX only! Be careful of what you
- enter yet this program is free for experimenting.
-
- There is a final option for a printer. If you want all CARRIER
- FOUND numbers to be sent to the printer for recording
- immdeiately, answer Y to this prompt, else enter N here.
- -------------------------------***-------------------------------
- The dialing sequence will start now. You will see at the top of
- the screen the numbers being dialed, the bottom shows two
- function keys:
-
- [F1] - QUIT - Will exit dialing routine after number in progress
- is completed. Only press this key once and then wait for a
- reaction. It takes a few seconds to respond.
-
- [F2] - PAUSE - Will pause the dialing routine AFTER NUMBER IN
- PROGRESS IS COMPLETED. Again, wait a few moments for this to
- respond.
-
- AT THE END of the dialing routine, an alarm will sound
- momentarily and then it will go into a "wait mode"...the first
- sixty seconds of this wait mode will contain 10 chirps every 6
- seconds...after that the screen will clear to prevent burn in.
- Hit Any Key during this wait mode to get the main menu.
- -------------------------------***-------------------------------
-
-
- 4.0 VIEW AND DIAL A SELECTED NUMBER
- -----------------------------------
-
- ULTRA-DIAL also incorporates a very simple terminal mode for
- use in quick testing of the numbers you have found without
- exiting ULTRA-DIAL itself.
- When you select the V)iew and Dial option you will be shown
- the numbers that are in the ULTRA.NBR file. Only 40 numbers can
- be displayed so deletion of this file is recommended whenever
- possible to make room for new numbers.
- Use <SPACE BAR> to go through the numbers with the pointer.
- When you have the pointer on the number you wish to dial, hit
- <RETURN>. (the <ESC> key will exit this)
- Here, the ULTRA-DIAL terminal takes over and dials the
- number for you!
-
- *NOTE* DUE TO THE SIMPLICITY OF THIS TERMINAL, CERTAIN
- CONNECTIONS MAY OVERFLOW THE TERMINAL. IT IS NOT RECOMMENDED
- THAT YOU USE THIS TERMINAL FOR SERIOUS COMMUNICATIONS.
-
-
- 5.0 ENTER TERMINAL MODE
- -----------------------
-
- This command will simply put you into the ULTRA-DIAL
- terminal mode as described above. All input goes directly to
- your modem during operation of the terminal. Use the <ESC> key
- to exit back to the main menu.
-
-
- 6.0 PRINT A COPY OF THE NUMBERS FOUND
- -------------------------------------
-
- This command will simply print out, in "ULTRA-official"
- form, all of the numbers is the ULTRA.NBR file.
-
-
- 7.0 DELETE ALL NUMBERS FOUND
- ----------------------------
-
- This command will delete and set-up the ULTRA.NBR file. It
- is recommended that you do this often so as to make room for new
- numbers to be recorded.
-
-
- 8.0 SOUND MODE TOGGLE
- ---------------------
-
- As per a reques by a user, I have added a "SILENT" mode to
- ULTRA-DIAL. It basicly quiets down the dialing routine. This
- can be helpful in coordination with the speaker toggle for night-
- time operation. The simples BEEPS that are heard when, for
- example, you go to dial a number, are heard regardless of the
- mode. Simply press T at the main menu and you can toggle the
- sound mode you are in.
-
-
- 9.0 RESET DATE AND TIME
- -----------------------
-
- This one is pretty self-explanatory...It will allow you to
- change the date and time appropriately just as the DOS DATE and
- TIME prompt would.
-
-
- 10.0 QUIT TO DOS
- ----------------
-
- This command is self-explanatory. You will be placed back
- into DOS where you left off.
-
-
- 11.0 COMMAND LINE ENTRIES
- -------------------------
-
- The feature presentation of ULTRA-DIAL's command line
- system! Now you can run ULTRA-DIAL quickly and efficiently. The
- format for the command reads as follows:
-
- A>ULTRA5 (prefix),<low #>,<high #>,(printer)
-
- In other words, if you were to enter:
-
- A>ULTRA5 9,9861673,9861690,N
-
- Ultra-Dial would take 9 as the prefix, 9861673 as the low
- number, 9861690 as the high number, and that you did not want to
- use a printer and use it all in a dialing routine. In other
- words, you can start dialing routines by entering all the
- information on your boot line.
- THERE MUST BE *THREE* COMMAS IN THE COMMAND LINE! The
- prefix is optional, for example:
-
- A>ULTRA5 ,9861673,9861690,N
-
- Would do the same as above except without a prefix. Also,
- the printer is optional and if it is left out, it will be assumed
- as no printer, for example:
-
- A>ULTRA5 ,9861673,9861690,
-
- Would also do the same thing without a prefix. You
- experiment with this feature you you can just boot ULTRA5 without
- a command line. The feature was added for convience. It also
- justifies the requirement for this program to use an IBM only.
-
-
- UPDATE NOTE: THIS PROGRAM HAS ONLY BEEN TESTED FOR USE ON AN IBM
- PC OR XT MODEL PERSONAL COMPUTER USING A HAYES 1200 EXTERNAL
- MODEM. SUPPORT FOR ANCHOR OR ANY OTHER MODEM IS STILL NOT
- GUARANTEED. ALSO, SUPPORT FOR ANY OTHER COMPUTER IS NOT
- GUARANTEED AND THIS INCLUDES THE IBM AT. If you are using DOS
- 3.0 and it does not work, try it out with 2.1 or 2.0 and see how
- it works before you ask questions. Enjoy...
