- Tired of waiting to get on line? Well you still have to wait but now you can
- use your computer while waiting. Dialer is a back ground program that will
- dial up to 5 numbers while you continue to use your computer. When Dialer
- gets thru it will sound a short alarm, you can then load your modem program
- and your ready to go. You can enter a new list for Dialer any time or stop
- it by pressing RETURN when it asks for the first phone number.
-
- If you have a copy of QMODEN.FON (dialing directory file for QMODEM by John
- Friel III) on the logged drive, Dialer will display the first 44 entries on
- the screen. You can select from the list by entering the directory entry
- number or enter M for the manual phone number entry screen. If QMODEM.FON is
- not on the logged drive the manual entry screen will be displayed.
-
- Dialer can be installed to your taste. At the DOS prompt type DIALER INSTALL
- This will bring up the installation screen. You can specify the modem
- initialization string, the dialing prefix, redial delay time, baud rate,
- parity, word length, and stop bits for Dialer to use. Dialer will then write
- a new copy of itself to the logged drive with the parameters you set. These
- can be changed any time but only the dialing prefix and redial delay will be
- used other than the first time Dialer is loaded (at least till you reboot).
- The communication parameters can be change any time with the MODE command
- or by your modem package.
-
- Dialer works even better with Program Shift (or Memory Shift). Load dialer
- FIRST, using no phone numbers. Then load PShift (reinstall if necessary). Load
- your favorite modem package in one of the partitions, switch to another parti-
- tion and run Dialer entering the phone numbers you want to use. When you hear
- the alarm just switch to the partition you loaded your modem package into.
-
- Dialer will also work while your in your modem package waiting to get on the
- first board that becomes avaliable.
-
- Enjoy!
