Has anyone used the DTMFOUT command on the BS2. This just dials a number right?
Or can it actually communicate with something after it has dialed the number?

DTMFOUT will create the proper tones to dial a phone (you must couple the
tones on to a phone line) -- but that's it. You need a modem to do
communication over a phone line (and the modem already has the phone line
connection circuitry and the ability to dial for you).

When I use the DTMFOUT command all of the number work fine. When I
try and use # or * the compiler won't let me use them. Does anyone
know what command I can use or how to make these work? Also, is it
possible to use a,b,c,or d for DTMFOUT?

Thanks,

Chris

Chris -

The # and * characters are never used per se. All of the permissible numbers, characters and extended codes come from the table as shown in the HELP file and the PBASIC Manual. Here is a copy of that table for your reference:

Value Number/Character/Ext Codes

0-9 Numbers 0-9
10 Character *
11 Character #
12-15 Ext Codes A-D
