Hello,

I have programmed a MultiDial.ssrx script that allows you to dial
multiple phone numbers by passing the phone numbers to it like
this:

CALL MultiDial "123-2345|167-3456|345-6796"

This will dial the 3 phone numbers in order.  If they are all busy, it will
dial them over again, listing the phone number it is dialing and the 
retry number that it is on in the titlebar of the dialing console.

The script also will work using the normal Phone parameter in the 
Provider.conf file.  However, this parameter is restricted to a small 
number of characters, so passing the phone numbers in via the CALL 
routine is better.

Also, I have modified startnet so that you can use multiple providers by
calling it thusly:

startnet PROVIDER EzNet

Which would use the EzNetProvider.conf file in your AmiTCP:db directory.
By default the script will use Provider.conf as the provider file

If you use more than one provider, this modification is a MUST!

Otherwise, both of these commands act the exact same way as their 
standard counterparts.

Is it OK to release these scripts to Aminet since they are just modified
NSDi scripts?  If it is, then I will post them with the instructions on
how to set them up, and some sample provider.conf files.

Email me back, as I rarely read news.

Or contact me on the Undernet IRC network.  I am known as Shape in #amigacafe.

Thanks,
Josh Wingell
