POPDIAL Version 1.0
(C) 1991 Scanlon Enterprises / Paul Scanlon
POPDIAL is a memory resident (TSR) utility, which will dial a
number, located on the diskplay or one which the user enters.
POPDIAL automatically detects if the cursor is at a usable phone
number, and will dial that number, without further attention from
the user. If the cursor is NOT at a valide phone number, then
POPDIAL will prompt for a number.
POPDIAL is a text based system, and will NOT function correctly
if poped-up in graphics mode. No attempt is made, by POPDIAL to
check the video mode, so the user must assure that POPDIAL is NOT
activated during graphics mode.
POPDIAL can handle dial strings up to 33 characters, and may
include a comma, to produce a pause of 2 seconds (your modem
default). The possible string characters, permitted are, the
numberic keys '0' thru '9', and '#*ABCD,!'. Additionally, the
characters '-() ' are allowed in the string, but are ignored.
The '!' is a special character, used by HAYES compatible modems
to flash, which takes the modem off line momentarily to get a new
dial tone.
Start POPDIAL by entering 'POPDIAL port', where 'port' is a valid
COM port (usually 1-4). Once started, POPDIAL displays the
installation message, which includes the HotKey to use to bring
POPDIAL into play. This special hotkey is 'Control D'.
IE... After installing POPDIAL, press 'control D' to start a dial
sequence.
This version of POPDIAL requires 8K bytes of memory to run.
Each occurance of the ',' (comma) will pause your modem, from
further activity, for about 2 seconds. This is useful for
situations in which you wish to dial a pager, or in which you
must dial a prefix (such as 9) to gain outside line access.
POPDIAL will automatically prefix a long distance number, with
the '1'. A long distance number is a string of numeric characters
which is 10 characters long. If the sting of numbers is, lets
say, 7 characters, then the '1' will NOT be prefixed.
EXAMPLE:
800 222 4582
Will be prefixed with a '1', while
222 4582
Will NOT
POPDIAL requires a HAYES compatible modem.
Registration brings a version which will dial a number, chosen
from a list of 25 numbers, port changing (change COM ports),
select a file containing the phone list (even after activated),
automatic detection of video mode and of course, phone support.
