I have a modem script I need to automate.

We have an existing job we would REALLY like to automate. Currently, someone dials up a BBS, logs in, copies a files locally, ftp’s the file to another server and then luches an application. This sounds like a perfect match for 24x7.

Have you previously made recommendations to customers on the best method to automate this?

I am performing my preliminary investigation before heading down the development path.

Thank you for your thoughts.

This should not be very difficult to do.

To dial out use RASDial method. To login use SendKeys. Even better if your BBS or modem program supports scripting so you can automate dialing and logging in that programs (this is usually more reliable because of the potential timing issues between establishing a connection and login prompt)

The job may look like the following sequence of commands

RASDial
WindowActivate
SendKeys
FileCopyEx
FTPPutFile
RunAndWait
RASHangUp
