Re: Modem Programming

Posted by Frank Hale on 1999-03-03

While were on the topic of modems. What is the command to get the modem
to dial a *  star or asterix or whatever it is. My damn phone company
will disconnect me from the internet when someone calls me unless I put
a *70 in front of the phone number I am dialing. I use a Perl script to
dial my ISP so thats why I need to know how to dial a * because putting
* won't work. Thanx

Since it deals with a Perl script I have then I guess this counts as a
programming question, right?
