If it is a TCP/IP application, both Macintosh and Windows will
automatically dial up to your ISP when data is requested or sent over
TCP/IP. To use a modem to dial a pager number, send it the appropriate
AT commands (to the serial port if using a serial modem). For example,
to dial the numeric pager 555-5342 and leave the numeric message
555-1744:
ATDT 5555342,,,555*1744
ATH
If I remember correctly, this will dial with DTMF (touch-tone) the
number 5555342, wait for about 6 seconds (2 seconds per comma) then dial
555*1744 (the * leaves a space on most numeric pagers). Wait before
sending the ATH, I believe that it is the hangup command, though the
modem will probably time-out after 30 seconds or so anyway.
