- NO CARRIER -
By Ghost Pilot

Well, here is my latest production.. A new scanning program.
It's basically self-explanatory but there are a few parts you
might not know what to do with.
Just a little note:
I did not make this program to be used in any crimes
against any company or person. I will not be held
responsible for any crimes committed using this
program. Do not even try blaming me for any misuse
of this program because I am NOT liable.
I will explain each item going from left to right across the
main menu bar.
I. SCAN -
Hmm.. What could this do? I hope you can figure it out.
:)
II. CONFIG -
Obviously sets up your modem and other scanning features.
Com Port: Take a wild guess..hehe.. Com ports 1-4 are
valid.
Baud Rate: Carrier supports 300, 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600,
and 19200.. Theres actually no need for any
higher speeds but if I get enough requests,
I'll throw that in later.
Log File: This is a file that either will be created if
it doesn't exist or will be appended if it has
already been created. It contains the time of
each call and what happened on that call.
Found Log: Also will be created or appended as in the Log
File option. This is where all your tones and
carriers will be stored for later viewing.
Modem Log: Will also be created or appended as in the Log
File option. This is where all the modem commands
are stored so you can see what is wrong if something
goes wrong while the program scans.
Screen Saver: This is the time the program will wait before
blanking the screen to prevent screen burn in.
Toggle Sound: Turns modem sound on or off depending on current
sound status.
Range Prefix: The first three numbers of the scanning range.
Only numbers are accepted.
Range Suffix: The last four numbers of the scanning range.
Only numbers are accepted.
Search For: Tells the scanner if you want to look for carriers,
tones, or both carriers and tones. If just carriers
is chosen, only carriers will be written in the found
log. Same with the option Tone.
Start Time: Tells the program when you want to start scanning if
your not going to be there. The time must be in
24 hour format.
Ending Time: Tells the program when you want to end scanning. The
same rules apply as in the Start Time option.
Dial String: What to dial before each number. This is useful if
you dial out of a PBX or you want to block caller
I.D. You must put a '\' at the end of the string.
Init String: This string is sent to the modem to prepare it for
scanning. You can put in whatever you want. You
also must put a '\' at the end of the string.
Rings: How many rings to allow before skipping the number
being dialed.
Delay: How long the modem will attempt to find either
carriers or tones. Specify in milliseconds. Usually
18000 for tones and 30000 for carriers.
Data File: This is a file created to determine which numbers
have already been dialed so the program won't dial
the same number over and over if you stop the program
and then restart it again.
Sequence: Carrier will either scan for random numbers or
sequential numbers like 1..2..3.
Write Config: Click this if you want to save your updated
configurations.
III. PRINT -
This option allows you to print all of the log files. It won't
check to make sure the printer is on so when it asks you to hit
enter, check to make sure your printer is ready.
IV. TERMINAL -
I thought this would be helpful if you were curious about the
carriers you found. When in terminal mode, hit ALT-E to exit
or ALT-C to clear the screen.
V. DOS -
Every program needs a DOS shell nowadays! I put this in mostly
because of my friend's, Zaknafein, love for DOS shell.
VI. BLANK SCREEN -
Another mind boggler.. Move your mouse or hit a key to get the
screen back. The start time will still be active in blank
screen mode.
VII. OFFHOOK -
Takes the phone off hook if it is not offhook already and puts
it back on the hook if it is offhook.
VIII. VIEW -
Use this to view all three of your logs.. You can hit enter
or click the mouse in the box to advance to the next screen.
IX. EXIT -
This is too hard to explain. Try and figure it out yourself.
If you still have trouble with it, let me know. :)
For comments, suggestions, problems, and verbal abuse, you can reach
me on The Dark Palace, Manhattan Project, Absolute Zer0, Game Grid
and many other boards. Tell me if you think it needs some additional
features or some bugs come up.
One more thing:
If for some reason your modem does not work perfectly with this
program, and you get unknowns for all of the carriers, put an
'H' or 'h' after CARRIER at the command line. I have no idea
why this would happen but I had a problem like this with some
other modem programs a while back. It will just act like all
unknowns are carriers and write them to the log and all that
wonderful stuff.
