Connecting to a pager through modem

[YoelBenYossef]

Hi there,
I'm trying to make an interesting application. I'd like to setup a program to send pages. Basically, I want to create a function that uses the modem to dial a number, but instead of autheticating, wait 20 seconds, and dial again. Is that possible?

Thanks
Eric

Hey there,
How would I go about connecting?

You should probably read faq222-2244 first to see how to use the forums, and how to do basic research before asking a question.

Then you could use the standard code from VBHelp (MSComm control) and the standard code from VBHelp for Timer control and the standard code from VBHelp for Static.

When you've got some working code come back and let us know how you got on!

This same question by the same person is cross posted in the Microsoft C++ forum, as well.
