Sending AT command to MODEM from BATCH file?
Bill Fuhrmann
O|3) HOW I DO IT NOW...
O| I issue the ATM0 command each time I start PROCOMM+, before dialing.
O|It works, but I have to type it in each time once inside PROCOMM+. That's
O|why it would be more convenient if I could disable the Modem speaker from a
O|.BAT file, just before calling PROCOMM+ (from the same .BAT file).
Doesn't Procomm have a configuration sedction for a "set up" or
"initialization" string for the modem?
If Procom doesn't set up the modem, many modems have a way to save a
new configuration for startup.

: 1) WHAT I NEED TO BE ABLE TO DO...
: I want (need) to send an ATM0 command to my modem (Hayes 9600) from a
: DOS .BAT batch file, _before_ I start PROCOMMM+ for DOS.
: 2) WHY I NEED TO IT...
: The ATM0 command disables the modem speaker's loud beeping sounds.
: So, now I can dial up at 3 AM without waking up the neighbourhood.

: If anybody has any ideas, pls let me know!

Add ATM0 to your modem init str.
For Procomm for DOS, press Alt-S, select Modem Options, then Modem Commands,
then select Initializtion Command, add 'M0'.

RAY,
try the utilities available from Simtel (oak.oacland.edu) in /msdos/pktdrvr
slx10.zip (AT,RING,DCD). They are made for dialing SLIP-Connections, but
should work in your case as well.

This never works for me with my internal modem on COM4. I have tried typing
ECHO > COM4 ATH1 to get the speaker to come on, but it nevers works. Does
MS-DOS ECHO add a newline character to the end, or must you specify it?

Well, that whole format looks wrong. Now, maybe I'm the one being
weird, but I thought the redirection symbol and destination had to be
last, like I had it: ECHO ATH1 > COM[x]. Now, I'll grant you. COM3 and
COM4 have some weirdness that I don't understand, and maybe you can't ECHO
anything to them. It was the first thing to come to my mind, and I could
definitely be wrong.

If you just want to get the thing to shut up all the time, why not say
"atm0" in whatever interactive mode your terminal program allows, and
then save the state to profile 0 (the power-up mode)?
