Hi all, Is it possible to have my modem dial a phone number from a BAT file. My previous program under DOS would do it if I created a BAT file containing "echo >comxATD1234567" and called this BAT file from the program. "echo >comxATD1234567" will work if it is entered in a MSDOS window but I need to have the program do it when a specific event triggers it.
Thanks in advance for any advice, Dave
On our Resources page is a free Windows utility that can be run from the command line or by other methods. It lets you send character strings out a serial port. It is called SENDCOM.EXE
It's been a few years since I used it but I think you can launch your batch file using the Start command built into Windows.
e.g. Start XXX.bat

I use the below format in a batch file on winXP to send bytes to the serial port. Never tried it with a modem.
@echo off mode com1:9600,N,8,1 >nul echo ATD1234567 >com1
