4822.0. "Dial Out Procedure?" by MAIL::CLAYTON (Merlin Clayton DTN 445-7217) Mon Apr 05 1993 16:25

Has anyone ever successfully written an Alarms Fired .COM procedure to
automatically dial a remote number from the system on which they are running?

Doug McPherson and I (i.e., Doug) fooled with this some time ago but never 
did get it working successfully.

The customer wants to dial a pager number using a Hayes compatible modem when
certain events occur.  He wants to do it as easy as possible from a standard
DCL procedure without dumping big bucks into a DECalert or other appls.

Any ideas?

4822.1Good tool called 'MODEM' does just what you wantCSOADM::ROTHELVIS:: is alive... and reachable!!Mon Apr 05 1993 16:538
I recommend this tool highly. Have had very good luck over the years
using it. It is available as an Assets tool. You can write 'script' files
to interact with stuff on the other end as well.

Conference is on UFP::MODEM. Press KP7 to add it to your notebook.
