Yes, I think you're wrong. Try this from a DOS box echo ATDT1111111111111111111111111111111111 > com1 If you have your modem in com1 of course... ;) ----- Original Message ----- From: Tor Hildrum To: Papo Napolitano Sent: Thursday, February 28, 2002 11:53 Subject: Re: making phone calls using a perl module On 28/2/02 15:40, "Papo Napolitano" <papo@dosalcubo.com> wrote: > I'm making a guess here...

I don't think you could just send those to a modem. You need some kind of interface between the AT-commands and the modem. When you use a command line terminal to communicate with your modem, I don't think it sends your AT-commands as "strings". I may, of course, be wrong. This information is available on the www, so anyone wanting to start with the project could look it up. Another way would be to have your perl script interface directly with some kind of commercial "phone-caller" software, but that's maybe not the best way to solve this. -- T.Thread Previous | Thread Next
