Com Port or Modem controls 1

[timgerr]

Can anyone direct me to a component (free that would allow me to run a script that connects to the modem on my computer and sends data to another modem. I just need to send the data, that is all. The data is a sequence of numbers.

Thanks

I would research the MSCOMMLib.MSComm object.

Can you use mscomm in a vbscript? If so where can I mscomm?

That was where can I get the MSComm object?

Thanks

It should already exist (I think the file is mscomm32.ocx) on any standard windows install.

Can this object be used in a VBScript? I see a lot of information on .net but not VBScript.

Thanks,

Untested, but try something like this:

Set com_port = CreateObject("MSCOMMLib.MSComm")
com_port.commport = 2
com_port.settings = "9600,N,8,1"
com_port.InputLen = 1024
com_port.RThreshold = 0
com_port.RThreshold = 0

com_port.PortOpen = True

com_port.Output ="ATI6" & vbcrlf

msgbox "arbitrary delay"

msgbox com_port.Input
msgbox com_port.Input
msgbox com_port.Input

com_port.PortOpen = False

I found this by simply searching for 'vbscript modem' on Google. It is the first piece of code I came accross, so I'm sure there is more out there if you look for it.

Yea I saw that, not much else. I am trying to find some scripts to work against. I do not know how to send information, like a number to dial.

I won't be much help with actual vbscript, I'm just trying to learn it myself, but it appears to me that in the above you need to send the modem AT commands. Lookup your modem's command refrence (it's probably something like atdt 111-111-1111).
