This document offers an example of a serial connection document.
The following macro can used to auto-dial a number until a connection is achieved. Naturally, you should replace the number with a valid telephone number. You can execute this macro manually by selecting it and pressing "Shift-Enter", or automatically on open by copying it and pasting it into the Macro menu "Set Connection Macro..." dialog.

Note the double "!!" when the string "Connected!" is put out; using a single '!' will confuse the interpretation of the macro. The '!l\002' macro breaks out of the wait-match macro.
You can extend this macro by adding match entries for your name (and password, for those who wish to live dangerously)....
