Help Using Modem & CLI
I'd like to be able to access my modem with the standard hayes command
set from the CLI. In IBM DOS the command would go: ECHO ATDT5550000
>COM1: This would dial the phone # 555-0000 by using the modem on
COM1. The reason I would like it might prove worth while to others. I
plan to get a simple burglar alarm with a motion detector and a lamp
module that automatically comes on when the motion detector senses
something. Rather than a lamp I plan to plug my Amiga power supply
into it. Then while I am away from home on vacation I can have the
computer automatically start if the house is broken into. My Amiga
will boot up and run the CLI dialing command which will call me where
I am vacationing. However, to get this all to work I need to be able
to access the serial port via CLI. I tried a similar command as in
the IBM example (substituting SER: for COM1: but it didn't work).
