Re: How to dial out & send message in METAL (WAZABOO)

["Terry Olsen" <tolsen64@hotmail.com>]

You don't need to do the "#modem".  All that does is send the text ONLY to
the modem, you won't see it on the screen.

? "007"  <-- Sends to both modem and screen
? #modem,"007" <-- Sends only to the modem
? #vid,"007" <-- Sends only to the screen

Your problem might be that the pager needs a CRLF at the end...so do this:

? "007";chr$(13);chr$(10);

The best thing to do is to dial in with ProTERM and do it manually to see
what it requires.  Does it send a prompt before it will accept input?  If
so, you'll have to program METAL to wait for the prompt before sending...
You might also want to wait a couple of seconds after connection anyway just
to let it stabilize before you try to send anything.
