hi,
i just got a-talk-III for the amiga and like it a lot - it's pretty
complete, the user interface is pretty sensible, etc.
one question: how can i use it to dial in to one of those digital
FX numbers - they're available only outside business hours, and when
you reach them, you get another dial tone, at which point you're
supposed to dial a dtn to reach a lat.
do i need to set up an at3 script file? how does it recognize a dial
tone? etc. etc.
any help appreciated!
thanks very much,
ken quirici

Ken,
To get ATalkIII to handle FX numbers is pretty easy, no script
file needed, though I can send you the one I use if you'd like.
I'm using a Scholar and simply do a:
CTRL/B
Pxxxnnnn=Tyyymmmm!
The P is used since I don't have touch tone service, the xxxnnnn is the
FX number I call (substitute whatever is local to your area). The '=' is
the trick to get the modem to wait for the secondary dial tone; the number
after it is the DTN of your lat (the T switches over to touch-tone), and
of course the ! is to initiate the dial.
Once you get the Attached message, just do your normal thing to logon.
I normally need to send a break (right-Amiga B), followed by a few
carriage returns to get the LAT prompt.

For Hayes compatible modems, the 'wait for second dial tone' character
is "W". Also, put a "#" after the last digit of the DTN number to make
it complete the call immediately - otherwise there's a delay of several
seconds.

| 3641.3 | thanks. this works! | ALASKA::QUIRICI | Tue Apr 03 1990 12:04 | 17 | |
thanks for your replies.
i tried the following last night and it worked:
in the atalk3 phone-list, in the phone-number field, i typed in:
<phone-number>W<DTN>.
when i select DIAL, it works fine. <phone-number> gets me the
outside line; W causes the modem to dial <DTN> when it encounters the
second dial tone.
i wasn't sure, from what you guys wrote, WHEN i was supposed to type
CTRL/B, etc., since atalk3 is not a command-line interface. but thanks
anyway. we got there!
