At least that's my overall goal. I don't have a clock, but if I can find a program that will just dial, I can kludge up something in Applesoft to approximate the clock (doesn't have to be real accurate) and then run that program at the right time. I could also get up one of the interrupt-driven clocks. Will TIC allow me to do this in any way? I can imagine whipping up a script that would have a biiiig delay loop and then dials... I guess the easiest way is to set my watch alarm and wake myself up, but I want it to be automatic, of course. Oh, yeah, it's a Hayes compatible modem. Any ideas? Andy art100@psuvm.bitnet or psuvm.psu.edu, or {wherever}!psuvax1!psuhcx!a1t Dare I recommend Applesoft for this??? It's actually quite easy.. Just issue the modem commands in print statements after appropriately redirecting I/O through the serial card (pr#3 and in#2) i think.. I's been so long since I wrote that BBS in applesoft (ack!) :-) -Paul p.s. (you'll have to set up the serial card with print statements as well...)
