DIALER
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!
