Demon Dialer : A background
When I owned an Apple //e, I was enamoured of a program called Demon Dialer. Basically, this program would call a series of telephone numbers, once it was give an initial number, and a final number. After calling all of them in order, it would create a text file of all the numbers that it had been able to connect with.
Demon Dialer : My version and comments
My version of this program will presently only work on a Hayes™-compatible modem. The program itself transfers data at 1200 baud so this is the minimum required capabilities of your modem. Besides, using Demon Dialer™ at 300 baud is a real pain!
When you run the program, some information will come up about it, and will be followed by a dialog box which requests a starting number and a final number. Type in the numbers and press Return. The program will then call all the numbers. If you enter no second number, the program will only dial the first number. Likewise if the second number is smaller that the first.
Once you have got by this dialog box, the program will put up another one as it dials.
The information it displays is ==>
- The currently dialed phone number
- How many numbers are left
- and How many numbers it could connect with up to now.
As the program finds numbers, it writes the numbers to a text file called Found Phone Numbers. Once the program has finished executing, it will return to the Finder™. At this point you can open the file Found Phone Numbers with MacWrite™ or any other word processor and find what numbers the program was able to discover.
I would suggest you use a small range of numbers to dial, it takes approximately 20 seconds to deal with one number, ie. it would take over 6 years to call ALL the numbers between 000-0000 and 999-9999!
Also you can enter long distance numbers if you wish in the XXXXXXXXXXX format. Please do not use any hyphens or spaces in the number since it will confuse the program.
Well that's about it... have fun and keep on hacking!
