716.0. "autodialing Scholar from VT100/VT200" by CIMNET::KYZIVAT (Paul Kyzivat) Fri Sep 18 1987 10:48

Does anyone have a script file for the Wecker VT100 (or Smokey VT200) emulator
which autodials a Scholar modem and checks for failures?  I have just switched
to a Scholar, and haven't yet got autodialing set up via script.  (It was enough
of a problem to get it to work at all, but that is a story everyone has heard.)

Because it can get a number of different kinds of errors it is harder to test
for them using just WAIT and ON.  With the DF03 there were only two common
responses, which made this testing easier.

    Paul,
    
    The script I use for my Scholar (which I just received a few weeks
    ago), simply uses ON to wait for the string "ATTACHED".  The modem
    is sophisticated enough to redial and you can program it to loop
    through a list of numbers.
    
    One thing I might like to add though is an ON "SPEED" command to
    reset the terminal baud if the modem falls back.  So I guess I'd
    be interested too if someone has an extensive script for the Scholar.
