Subj: BOOSTER PAK INTERNAL MODEM
Hi, dB, Does your Booster Pak have an internal modem? Mine has a WorldPort 1200, although I don't know whether it's a TravelComm or WorldLink (nothing printed on the circuit board). Anyway, I'm trying to modify one of the programs from the Telecom section of the Library (QTOUCH.BA, similar to QHAYES.BA), without success. Keep getting "External Modem Not Connected" message. Although it's an internal modem, I doubt the computer knows the difference, since it's only link is via the RS232 port, same as with a modem that actually resides outside. I suspect the problem is either (1) the program doesn't support DTR, or (2) the INP(187) statement needs modification. I've tried resetting DIP switches to get the program to "hear" that the modem is on - still no luck. I'm fairly ignorant of Input Port settings, so I haven't tried adjusting that. I'm not looking for an answer, just a clue. Am I on the right track? No hurry. This is sort of a crossword puzzle to me; I don't actually NEED an auto-dialer, but I'd sure like one! <Lex>
