stamp modem
Hi,
I want to be able to dial a phone number using the BS2e.· I know that there is a DTMFOUT command in the manual.· It also includes a circuit Figure 5.3 which is to integrate the controller to a phone line.· My question is: Will this circuit in the manual work to dial a phone number? I just need the phone to ring, I don't need it to make any sounds if someone answers or anything extra.· I just want it to make the phone on the other end ring a couple of times.
Another option I was looking at was the basic stamp modem which parallax sells.· I would like to know if this modem would work to dial a telephone number and just make it ring?· I don't need it to send any information.·
If it is possible is there any sample code to make this work?
I just want to be able to alert myself whenever the controller is triggered to dial.
Thanx

The Stamp Modem has the benefit that it is a licensed device guaranteed not to lock-up your phone line.
So, yes, DTMFOUT plus the circuit to interface to a phone line will dial other phones.

My work used to use them for lots of remote work and have a surplus of them.· You can talk to them via RS232 (stamps do this well) and it's certified (FCC) for phone lines!

"Inside each and every one of us is our one, true authentic swing. Something we was born with. Something that's ours and ours alone. Something that can't be learned... something that's got to be remembered."
So I understand that the DTMFOUT command along with the circuit in the manual will work.· I also understand that the stamp modem will work for it as well, and the article even gives a code for dialing a pager which is pretty cool.· And an old external modem will also work.
I'm leaning towards the stamp modem due to the code available as well as the fact that it can be connected to the phone line with little problem.
DTMFOUT 0, 500, 100, [noparse][[/noparse]9, 3, 3, 8, 2, 5, 9, 9] 'Our country uses 8 digits
P.S: We did not connect the sidactor as we were told that it was not needed (Unless there is a power surge)
Thanks in advance
