No. A War Dialer was something that called many phone numbers looking for a carrier (or something to show that there was a computer at the other end).
What he'a thinking about is one of the full-featured terminal programs that we used to use. Many of them had some sort of scripting language that let you automate tasks. In theory, if you had something like a Hayes modem set up, you could write a program that opens the serial port for read and write, then send commands to the serial port and read the results. So it may be possible, but not through the TERM program on the M100. You'd have to write code for it. I did something similar when I wrote up my clients for RDOS.
