These are the preliminary docs for the VLT autodialer. The autodialer
requires VLT version 4.718, the rexxarplib.library (tested with version
2.3), and ARexx 1.06 or better. This is designed to work with 2400 baud
Hayes compatible modems that send back the text messages. (Tested with a
supra 2400)

    The autodialer requires at least one file in your s: directory. This
file must be named "VLTPhone". It contains the names, phone numbers, modem
settings and macro fienames of the systems you call. The format is:

        Name Phone_Number Macro_Filename Parity Strip_bit_8

fields are delineated by spaces. This means no spaces in the BBS name. (A
mod for this is left as an exercise for the reader ;)
    The phone number field can be anything your modem will accept. It is
preceded by an "ATDT" to the modem. Again, no spaces.
    The macro filename is the name of a macro in your rexx directory that
is called when a connection is made. The extension *Must* be ".vlt". So if
you had "Bix" in the macro filename slot, the macro "Rexx:bix.vlt" will be
called and run. Execution is async, and after the macro is started, the
autodialer exits and goes away.
    Parity is passed straight through to VLT's Parity command. Most common
is 8N1. Your mielage may vary. I reccomend putting this entry in every line
of your phone file to make sure you and the host system are communicating
properly.
    Strip is also passed on to VLT, to the Strip command. This will strip
out the high bit (bit eight) on all non-filetransfer communication to your
host system. Use N for most BBS' ('specially those sending IBM graphics)
and Y when using Tymnet.
    You may leave out any field except the name and Phone number. If one
field is left out, however, all the rest of the fields for that line must
also be left out.

    Both a dummy macro and a working Bix/Tymnet macro are included
(sans password) as examples.
