INSTALLATION Just copy the directory somewhere on your harddisk. No assigns needed. 4. REQUIREMENTS o An Amiga with OS 2.04+ o A recent MUI version (3.1+) o MCC NList o Modem and/or speaker This program has been tested on the following systems: O A4000/040/26 MB RAM/OS3.1/CyberVision64/CyberGraphics/MUI3.8 o CD32/SX32pro/030/18 MB RAM/OS3.5/MU13.8 5. OVERVIEW Dial is a comfortable Phonebook program that can dial the numbers via Modem or DTMF tones over your speaker. It has many features such as support for Voice Modems, telephone systems and Call-by-Call (Germany). It can prevent the submission of your telephone mumber with a single checkbox. 6. USAGE 6.1. The phonebook The picture on the right side shows the phonebook editor. You can sort the entries with dragådrop or sort them alphabetically with the "Sort List" button. The filename of the phonebook can be changed in the settings window. You can enter captial letters for the number like on many telephones. ABC 2 DEF 3 GHI 4 JKL 5 MNO 6 PQRS ? TUV 8 WXYZ 9 You can also use * and # to remote control an answering machine or to send met codes to your telephone provider. 6.2. Modem dialling You have two options for modem dialling. You can either use your modem in Voice mode with a connected microphone and speaker or you use the modem only for dialling and then take over the line with your telephone receiver. 6.2.1. Modem dialling with voice mode To use the voice function, activate the checkbox "voice mode". You may have to change the voice mode activation commands for your modem. Please refer to your modem's manual. 6.2.2. Modem dialling without voice mode When you do not want to use the modem's voice mode, you can use it only to dial the number. Select the number you want to dial and press the "Dial" button. The modem will start dialling the number (you will hear a click sound, when the modem gets the line). After this you can pick up your telephone receiver. You will hear nothing as long as the modem is on line. After the modem dialed the number it will hang up the line again and you should hear the ringing sound in your telephone receiver. Note that you have to pick up the telephone BEFORE the modem hangs up the line, otherwise the call aborted. You can set the time the modem uses for dialling with the "hang up" slider. Change it when the time is to short to dial the complete number. 6.3. DTMF tone dialling DTMF (Dual Tone Multiple Frequencies) tones are the sounds the your telephone makes when you press a number button. With "Dial" you can double click a number in the list and it plays these DTMF tones for the number over your speaker. If you hold your telephone receiver near your Amiga speaker, this will dial the telephone number. 6.4. Call-By-Call Here in Germany you can select the cheapest telephone provider for long-distance calls for every single call without making a contract with them. This is done by dialling a 5-digit provider number in front of the dialling code. With Dial you can easily assign a provider number to a specific dialling code, so this provider is used for every call to a specific town or mobile network. Enter a dial code in the pattern field (or only the first few digits for more general pattern). More detailed (longer) patterns have higher priority. Enter the call-by-call pre-code in the number field or choose one in list of German telephone providers. For all numbers in the phonebook that start with this pattern, the call-by-call code is dialed in front of the number. You can turn this on and of with the "active" checkbox. This is the same as the "active" menu item in the Call-by-Call menu. 6.5. SEARCH FUNCTION When you press a letter key in the main list, it jumps to the first name that starts with that letter. You can also type further letters within 3 seconds to specify the name more precisely. Example: You have the following entries in your phonebook: o James o Jill o Jim When you press 'j' on the keyboard it will jump to "James". When you press 'i' within the next 3 seconds it will jump to "Jill". Press 'm' in 3 seconds to jump to "Jim". The screen flashes when no more matches are found. If you wait longer than 3 seconds, it will again jump to the first entry that begins with the typed letter. 6.6. CONCEAL ID In Germany, when you have an ISDN telephone or a cellular phone, the number of the caller is shown in the display when the phone rings. When you activate the CONCEAL checkbox, your number will not be transmitted to the other phone. CONCEAL dials a *31# net code in front of the telephone number to do this. This code is accepted by the German Telekom's net. I don't know if this works in other telephone networks. It definetly works in German Telekom's ISDN net and also in the analogue net, if you have applied for it (This is free, just call 0 11 14). 7.
