Re: Host dials 5394

Pat:
Change the controller description to DIALINIT to *IMMED.  Then when the
controller is varied on, it will immediately look for an available line in
the Switched Line list and initiate the dial.  You could also write a small
program that would vary on the line, then the controller and schedule it so
the line could come up automatically at a certain time of the day and then
have another program that disconnects.  (or you could specify switched
disconnect *YES and have the line drop automatically after the last device
signs off.).  Toggling the controller On and OFF will initiate dial.
