I'm trying to send a pager via modem. I try using the MsComm API from M$ but I'm having problem. This API seems to try to connect to another modem while what I want is to connect to normal phone system. Anyone can help me?

Simon,
What sort of modem is it? can you get a connection using Telephone Dialer or Hyper Terminal?
just a thought, I am no expert in this area :)
Anyway you can have it treat the number that is being dialed as all one long number ?Quote:

Ie, say the pager was 555-5656 and the person you were paging was like 555-9999...could you send a dial string like 555-5656,,,,555-9999 ?
Using a USB Modem that use Com3.
I try using McComm (The MSComm control provides serial communications for your application by allowing the transmission and reception of data through a serial port. ) I'm succesfull in dialing but the modem is trying to talk to another modem? I think I need to change a few setting like setting in my MsComm but I don't know wtich one. :(
I just found out that my modem was only a fax modem and not a fax/voice/modem so what I'm trying to achieve is impossible with this kind of modem. :(
Thanks for letting us know................I had a feeling that it might be the modem type :)
