I must say I really
miss HyperCard's "dial" command. Any chance of getting that feature down the
road? I.e., a replacement for:


dial "1234567"
-- or
dial "1234567" with modem

But these are really at a toy level and awkward to use.


For games that have a phone to use the first might be used, but so can playing dial sounds.

For the latter, the utility is awkward, because of the need to take the phone off hook by hand and to hangup by hand. There may be some uses where the ringing of the phone is the desired result.

Since these are straightforward to build, these might be better in somebody's goodies collection than in Revolution. Or in tips.

Unfortunately, more serious phone control is more expensive or harder. One way to go is BlueTooth. Another is a phone gadget that looks like serial to Revolution.
