KA9Q modified dialer (version 911229 (gt 1.3)).
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The new dialer script file is composed of two sections: "configure" and
"execute".  As its name suggests, the "configure" section consists of
various configuration commands.  The execute section is much the same as
the current dialer script file but has some new commands.

The configure commands are as follows:

configure:			Specifies the start of the configuration
					section.  Must be the first non-comment in the
					file.
init <string>		Specifies the modem initialization string.
dial_cmd <string>	Specifies the modem dial command.
ld_code <string>	Specifies a long distance code.
number <string>		Specifies a telephone number.  There may be
					multiple "number" commands.  The numbers will be
					used in turn if retries are specified.
retries <count>		Specifies the number of times the execute script
					is to be retried if it fails.  Default 1.

The execute commands are the existing dialer script commands plus the
following:

execute:			Specifies the start of the execution section. 
					This must precede any other execution section
					commands.
init				Initialize the modem.
dial				Dial the next number in the list.
cwait <milliseconds> [ <success string> <failure string> 
		[<failure string> ...] ] [ speed ]
					The same as the original "wait" command except
					that if <failure string> is seen before <success
					string> then the dial attempt will be deemed to
					have failed and the dialer program will either
					retry the execute script from the start or give
					up (depending on the retry count).

Here's an example dialer script:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
#
configure:
#
init "ATZ"
dial_cmd "ATDT"
ld_code "131,,0123456789012"
number "0813466209"
number "0813490016"
retries 5
#
execute:
#
# Toggle DTR.
control down
wait 2000
control up
wait 2000
#
# Initialize the modem.
init
wait 3000 "OK"
#
# Dial and wait for connection.
dial
cwait 45000 "CONNECT" "BUSY" "NO CARRIER"
#
# Now log in.
wait 5000 "gin:"
wait 1000
send "slip\r"
wait 10000 "word:"
send "sl8250\r"
wait 20000 "sliplog:"
send "rundart\r"
