I use a program called "at", which I believe came with the X00 FOSSIL, although it's been so long that I forget. Anyway, I say "at com2: h1" anywhere that I need to take the phone off the hook, or "at com2: h" to put it back on (or just let Waffle do it). The same effect can be had by "echo ATH1 > COM2", although that will use MS-DOS's crappy serial drivers and might not be as reliable. If you want, I can zip up the at command and send it to you. |Even an RTFM would be nice. Or is anybody reading this? I never saw the original. Bill
