Frikkin' Dialin' the Frikkin' Phone...

[Dave Bud]

What is the trick with dialing the phone? When I use that script step it only counts down to when it will allegedly hang up the phone --but it doesn't even take the modem off the hook, much less dial in the first place.

I've never been able to get that script step to work on my Mac and the "Help" file betrays its name. I've resorted to sending apple events to outside dialing applications to automate phone dialing.

Am I missing something incredibly simple?

Thanks,

Dave

Have you double-checked the Modem preferences (Edit->Preferences->Application->Modem) and the Dialing prefs to make sure that they aren't causing the problem?

Yep, many times, never could get it to work. Maybe it's my computer: Power Computing Powerbase 240 with a 603e.
