I am looking for a simple program that will detect the phone ringing,
wait 30 seconds and then dial a preset number.

I want to use this when someone call my office, leaves msg on answering
machine and then computer dials out to my pager, so I can check it.

Sounds simple eh?  I'm going NUTS.... Email me some ideas PLEASE!

Thaxs.... SKYHIGH

In order to get the modem to dial, wouldn't that line need to read:

PRINT #1,"ATDT ###-####" : REM ...
          ^^^^

ATZ is the simple reset, isn't it?
