; FILE ROLM.SCR
;
; To be used with MS-DOS Kermit 3.11 or later.
;
; An MS-DOS Kermit script program for dialing from a ROLMphone DCM
; (Data Communication Module).
;
; Stored in Kermit Distribution as MSIROLM.SCR; rename to ROLM.SCR if
; necessary so the DIAL macro can find it. Place this file in your current
; directory, or any directory in your DOS PATH.
;
; Expects variable \%1 to contain the phone number or data group name. This
; is done by the DIAL macro defined in MSKERMIT.INI. To make the DIAL macro
; use this file instead of HAYES.SCR, add the following line to your
; AUTOEXEC.BAT file:
;
; SET MODEM=ROLM
;
; If you lack the DIAL macro definition, use this simple substitute:
;
; DEFINE DIAL TAKE ROLM.SCR
;
; To use, just type "DIAL nnnnnnn" at the MS-Kermit> prompt, where "nnnnnnn"
; is the desired phone number or Rolm data group name.
;
; Sets SUCCESS flag if dialing succeeds, sets FAILURE flag
; if it fails, for use with IF SUCCESS, IF FAILURE, \v(status).

  1. Very nice! Thank you for this wonderful archive. I wonder why I found it only now. Long live the BBS file archives!

  2. This is so awesome! 😀 I’d be cool if you could download an entire archive of this at once, though.

  3. But one thing that puzzles me is the “mtswslnkmcjklsdlsbdmMICROSOFT” string. There is an article about it here. It is definitely worth a read: http://www.os2museum.com/wp/mtswslnk/
