- (You can run this script with the documentation in place, but
- for faster execution, save this copy in a separate folder and
- run this script with the documentation removed.)
-
- ANSWRING.DO does something that may seem a little strange. It
- tells Flash to answer the phone only if it has rung for more
- than a minute. Why do such a thing?
-
- The answer: To keep Flash from automatically answering all
- calls. If you are away from home and want to be able to call
- your home computer to transfer files (from a laptop, for
- example, when you are traveling), you may not want Flash to
- pick up the line on the first ring; this would greet all human
- callers with a piercing modem whistle. (Not a nice thing,
- especially to those who are calling long-distance.)
-
- I wrote this script when I was staying for a few months away
- from home. I knew an answering machine would simply fill up in
- a week or so, and so I wanted the phone to go unanswered unless
- I was calling from my laptop. This script did very nicely.
-
- Make sure that the software you are using to call your ST or TT
- is able to continue ringing the phone for much more than a
- minute. I found that a 90-second timeout was necessary in some
- situations.
-
- This script is actually the front-end routine for a mini-BBS
- script that I wrote. A shortened version of that script, called
- HOST.DO, is included in the FLASHDOC archive.
