Quote from: macdad- on March 16, 2008, 09:46:57 AM is it possible for DOS to Dial ur modem(yes, a Dial-Up modem) to a specific phone number like if you have ur phone connected to ur modem? Back when we all used MS-DOS, there were MANY programs out there for dialing and connecting. Same for receiving and connecting. Some were free, some were shareware, some were commercial software. I liked Telix. Still keep a copy handy... just in case I want/need it. It is uncrippled shareware. You can download it here: http://www.chebucto.ns.ca/Services/PDA/DosComm.shtml If, after reading the docs, you are not sure what to do with it, post here and I'll try to help. Bear in mind that it has been quite a while since I last set it up from scratch, so I might stumble a bit. It is REALLY not very difficult though. I don't know what os you are using - assuming XP. I don't know about XP and its command line, as to how it likes an old fashioned DOS program wanting to control a serial port. You might have to get advice on that part from the XP folks here on CH. You'll need to post the brand name, make, mode number, whatever, of your modem too. What is it that you are trying to accomplish though?yes, that is just wat i need thnx!

What is it that you are trying to do though?well i have a DSL modem already but i needed a program that could Dial my ISP using my Dial-Up Modem in the case that my DSL modem was down.Quote from: macdad- on March 16, 2008, 01:39:59 PM well i have a DSL modem already but i needed a program that could Dial my ISP using my Dial-Up Modem in the case that my DSL modem was down. Dialing your ISP is probably not enough. You have to have a meaningful connection too. Unless your ISP allows a shell account, and they probably don't, Telix won't do what you need. For example, you want to be able to browse the web, right? Win98 had Dial Up Networking for this. I assume that XP has it too. That's what you want to negotiate a connection that will let you use the internet with your ISP. On the other hand, if you wanted to dial a friend's computer direct, then Telix would be useful. If you both run Telix successfully, you could connect over a regular dial up phone line. Transfer files, 'chat', etc. As a matter of fact, if I recall correctly, that Telix package included some scripting that would let Telix auto-answer and allow the caller to log in. Bare bones bbs software. well does Telix allow you to send data? if so then all i do is dial up my ISP then i send the username and password data thats how my ISP functions with Dial up conncection,simply dialup the ISP then send the username and password data.Quote from: macdad- on March 16, 2008, 01:52:48 PM ... So how did that work out for you? yup, WORKS lke a charm. ty |
