A Bit of Telephony...
Carnet offers four
ways for dialing numbers: from the Macintosh's loudspeaker, using a Minitel,
using a modem
,
and using another Carnet on the network.
Audio
To use the audio
dial, through the Macintosh's loudspeaker, you must pick-up the phone
and place its mouthpiece as close as possible to the loudspeaker.
Modem (or Minitel 2)
When dialing with a modem, Carnet must divert the modem to use it as a dialing device. The modem usually puts the telephone off-line to keep the line to itself.
As soon as the dialing is done, Carnet must force the modem to hang up to give the phone line back to the telephone. This also applies to the Minitel 2.
Minitel 10 or 12
Using a Minitel 10 or 12, connected to the Macintosh with a simple serial cable, you have a full-featured telephone that Carnet can drive directly to dial the numbers. The Minitel is only available in France and a few other countries.

The Minitel connection
is only possible if the Macintosh has a serial port |
