PETDIAL is used to dial phone, using either phone number or name and phone
book DIALPB.TXT, for DOS and Windows command prompt. Use any modem connected
to serial port. Or mobil phone with modem capability.

This program uses PET4TH which reserves interrupt for time critical
application only. That means PETDIAL does not use interrupt, only tight
loop. It should not be interrupted heavily. Multi tasking current version of
PETDIAL is not recommended.

Currently PETDIAL accesses hardware directly. It uses phone book DIALPB.TXT
which is maintain manually with editor like Notepad. The format is name
(only one word), comma, phone number. Virtual serial interface like infra-
red and USB converter can not be used.

Sample DIALPB.TXT:
me,+1234567890
you,00112061234567890

PETDIAL is for any Hayes compatible modem.

PETDIAL is also for Siemens C35i S35i M35i ME45. Since C35i S35i and M35i
use only 19200 baud rate, PETDIAL is using only 19200 baud.

To use this program you must know where you plug the data cable to your PC.
The default is serial port com1. If you connect it to com2, then
     dial setup com2
will write serial port 2 selection to the running DIAL.COM. No need to do
this the next time you run PETDIAL. Modem not found error message will be
reported if wrong serial port is selected.

It is better to use
     dial forth com1
and see it can talk to the modem. If fail, try
     dial forth com2
or com3 or com4. Then setup PETDIAL with correct serial port.

If you have mouse connected to the serial port selected in PETDIAL, you may
try F10 and bye to exit to operating system.
