Pilot Pager
Pilot Pager is my first attempt at writing software for the 3Com / USR Pilot and PalmPilot series of PDA’s. I bought my PalmPilot Pro in late July of 1997 and was amazed at all the great things it could do for being in such a small package. One of my biggest gripes (and apparently other too) is that USR put a pretty pathetic sound system into the Pilot. The little Piezo speaker is not capable of producing the DTMF tones to dial the telephone. So, we’ve got this great PDA loaded with phone numbers, fax numbers, pager numbers, but we still have to dial them manually. That’s where Pilot Pager comes in! The idea behind Pilot pager is pretty simple. Use a modem hooked up to the Pilot’s serial port to do all the dialing for us. Although this could be done pretty simply by hand, Pilot Pager will eventually do things like interface with the phonebook app for looking up numbers, etc. It can only send pages, and they must be numeric, NOT alpha! (Sorry, but there’s no way to send alpha pages over over the phone keypad that I know of) Our Review:
