Top Forums UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers How do I dial a number from the terminal window? Post 59701 by seg on Wednesday 29th of December 2004 11:54:44 AM

If you want to dial via a shell script perhaps echoing the AT commands to the device might work. echo "ATAH" > /dev/cu.modem. Not sure though.

Your best bet would be to find a dialer that would be used for dialing an ISP to connect the computer to the internet and modify the settings to dial your cellphone.

Google and Sourceforge.net are your best bets for that.
