SUMMARY
=======
Version 3.2 and 3.2a of Microsoft Mail Remote for Windows supports the use of a
credit card modem script to place a call via the MCI phone system and credit any
charges to the MCI credit card. Below is the CALL section of the script. To
apply this functionality to other scripts, copy the code between the comments
BEGIN HERE and STOP HERE, and paste into the same CALL section of the script for
the modem that you are using.
NOTE: The phone number to dial below, represented by #s, may be replaced by the
phone_number variable.
MORE INFORMATION
================
CALL:
; BEGIN HERE
$ret = 8 ; set default ret code to "no answer"
clearrsp ; clear the response buffer
echo 0 ; do not display phone number
; If this script is specified in the phone number field then the
; initialize script in the default script file may have turned off the
; speaker. The following commands will turn the speaker back on for
; Hayes compatible modems:
;
sendln "ATM1" ; turn speaker on
waitrsp 1 ; get the response back from the modem
; In order to make credit card dialing work, the modem being used must
; support the ";" dial modifier. This character returns the modem to
; command state after the dial string is sent, allowing us to proceed
; with further processing. The operator is prompted to press a key.
; When he does, send another dial string. This time the dial string is
; the credit card number.
; Remember that the phone number must be in the form:
; 0 - area code - number
; standard number to call to get into MCI
sendln "ATD" + dial_mode + "9,1,8009501022;"
; turn echo back on
echo 1
display 'Press any key when you hear the tone...'
; Wait until a key is struck
operator_wait_loop:
getkey
if (key = 0)
goto operator_wait_loop
; Now send the phone number of external and the credit card number.
; ### = phone number to call, should be EXTERNAL.EXE number
; $$$ = credit card number.
; You will have to replace this with your credit card number.
; do not display credit card number
echo 0
sendln "ATD" + dial_mode + "0,##########,,$$$$$$$$$$$$$$"
; echo back on to see response
echo 1
