|
If you're having problems with ToneLoc or are curious about an
|
|
aspect or two of ToneLoc, this is the file for you. We make it a point
|
|
to talk with as many ToneLoc users as possible. Plus we probably scan
|
|
about 100,000 numbers per month, so we've come across lots of common
|
|
problems. This file is a compilation of these common problems and
|
|
questions. It is divided into two parts; first the troubleshooting
|
|
section; then the question/answer section.

ToneLoc doesn't work Read the docs

When I run ToneLoc, I get a bunch Your modem probably has CD (Carrier

My com port is set up correctly. the meantime, set the IgnoreCD

|
option in the ModemOptions menu to

Yes. If it still doesn't work, maybe
|
|
you don't have the port set right

after all.

ToneLoc tells me "The CTS signal First, check to see that your

|
not using a fossil, what the fuck
|
|
is the problem with CTS?!
|
|
|
|
Responses from the modem get cut Increase GetDelay in the config

|
off. For example, I get Unknown file by 50 milliseconds at a time.
|
|
responses with strings like If you get to 500 and the problem

When I run ToneLoc, the first Add a delay after your Speaker ON

When my parents walk by and see Use the <B>lank key while scanning.
|
|
ToneLoc running, they start asking You can create your own screen, or
|
|
all sorts of questions. Like use the included ones. It looks like
|

"what is this doing?" "What are you're doing your homework, but you
|
|
all these phone numbers?" "You are actually scanning!
|
|
aren't a HACKER are you?"
|
|
|
|
I have 3-way calling, and ToneLoc Set 'BetweenDelay' higher in the

Or use call-forwarding. Or, just

I run ToneLoc at night, but my Read the docs. Then use the /E:
|

parents notice it running on their option. Using /E:6:30 would stop

I scan for carriers with VOICE Add a comma after the phone number

My lame modem sends an extra Turn on the IgnoreUnknown option in

and ToneLoc keeps saying "Unknown:"
|
|
|
|
Whenever I get a carrier, ToneLoc Your modem is a bit non-standard.

says "Unknown: CARRIER 2400". Change your Found Carrier Response
