The following is a general purpose READ file for placing calls via Telenet. It assumes that the PREFIX is null (PREFIX "") and that the SUFFIX is a RETURN (SUFFIX "^M"). These are the default values on my system. I've named this file CALLTO.MEX The local Telenet number is in the PHONE list. It is invoked by: READ CALLTO [] (remarks not part of file) STAT WTECHO OFF not needed, just slows us STAT WECHO 1 fast for initial call-up STAT REPLY 1 STAT RETRY 1 SENDOUT "ATM0" to silence modem DIAL TELENET SENDOUT "^M" two returns go get started SENDOUT "" respond to TERMINAL= SENDOUT "C DIAL{1}//12,YOURID" respond to @ STAT WECHO 4 slow down for packets SENDOUT "PASSWORD" your password, of course SENDOUT "ATZ" SENDOUT "ATDT{2}" T {3:CAPTURE.NEW} For frequently called numbers a dedicated file can be created by copying the CALLTO file, and then filling in parameters 1, 2 and 3. My file to call the Net-exchange BBS (NEX.MEX) is STAT CRC ON set CRC/CHECKSUM to match bbs STAT WTECHO OFF STAT WECHO 1 STAT REPLY 1 STAT RETRY 1 SENDOUT "ATM0" DIAL TELENET SENDOUT "^M" SENDOUT "" SENDOUT "C DIAL202//12,YOURID" STAT WECHO 4 SENDOUT "PASSWORD" SENDOUT "ATZ" SENDOUT "ATDT6893561" T {1:CAPTURE.NEX} option to specify different capture file Thats all there is to it. Have fun.
