Re: Dialing a Fax/Modem from A UV basic program
Bobby, on the NT system are you logged in with administrator privileges when this will be run, or as a limited user? If administrator, you can use 'DOS /c ' similar to the shell command. This will get you away from the UV contraints. I would not recommend using a batch script, but something a little more powerful like wsh scripting. you will need to know a bit about either javascript or vbscript. It should give you control over everything you would need in windows to do this. 'DOS /c cscript filename'. Hopefully there is a simpler option though. I have a program i need to port to a win2k server from DG/UX. This program generates a report that can be printed or Faxed. It dials a modem connected to the unix server, and off goes the report. Has anyone tried a simular process on an NT server? My thought was to setup a Fax modem, and have the program execute a batch script to dial the number, but i am not sure how to spool to a fax, this ring any bells with anyone?

RE: Dialing a Fax/Modem from A UV basic program
Thanks Jeremy, faxing is done by customer service, so everyone will need access to this option. I am having to quickly come-up-to-speed on vbscript; in my free time. We can get around this feature not working for a while, but not for too long.

Re: Dialing a Fax/Modem from A UV basic program
Is there an easier Solution: Faxes in Windows are installed as Printers, therefore, could you create an alias for your Fax driver, such as FAX1 and then just write your mvBASIC code to send to that printer. Theoretically you could then even print to a fax from TCL using SETPTR ,,stuff deleted,AT FAX1 SELECT FILE WITH correct params SORT FILE correct fields LPTR Now that begs the question, which is why I bring this up, How can you then determine the phone number, etc.? Someone has done this, right?

RE: Dialing a Fax/Modem from A UV basic program
you cannot run scripts if not logged in as administrator, but it would be possible to run an .exe . not sure if you know how to program c++ or vb.

RE: Dialing a Fax/Modem from A UV basic program
Bobby, Don't know if it will help but we utilize Net Satisfaxtion from Faxback along with Advancedware's AWFORMS software to fax and email documents. We are running Epicor's Dataflo software but the interface is coded in Unibasic print programs.

RE: Dialing a Fax/Modem from A UV basic program
What kind of scripts? Batch files? I have a number of processes which write out and execute batch files and ordinary users can execute them just fine. -Original Message- From: Jeremy Adell [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: Dialing a Fax/Modem from A UV basic program you cannot run scripts if not logged in as administrator, but it would be possible to run an .exe . not sure if you know how to program c++ or vb. -- u2-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.oliver.com/mailman/listinfo/u2-users
RE: Dialing a Fax/Modem from A UV basic program
These are scripts ending with .vbs, .js run with either (command line) cscript.exe or (gui) wscript.exe. On server 2003, i have found that only privileged users can run these. Used for automated administration of the server. 2000 may allow it, but i would hope not. These scripts give you a way to automate, access, and programatically control every aspect of your windows server including access to networking, modems and printers. http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en- us/script56/html/wsproarguments.asp The best bet is to create a simple executable to connect the modem, use the new socket abilities of Universe 10.0 to setup a client system locally, and an always listening server at the remote location and just pipe the data over. Then the listening program writes the data to a file. kind of a hacked system but oh well. What kind of scripts? Batch files?
