Note: This only works in IE. Don’t know what versions, but I think it has to support VBScript. I’m going to see if I can’t make a standalone executable version. Probably won’t have save capability for scores, but if you just want Tetris….
BTW, what EXACTLY do you want to do?
Make a modem inside of a computer capable of making phone calls using the computer, program a different type of hardware to try to do the same thing, or build a standalone telephone-like device using computer components? May suggestios would help most with the first two options, I think.
I assume you want to reprogram a modem or something?
You’re going to need extensive knowledge of general programming, and you’re not talking a minor project with this. People spend years doing this stuff.
Basically, it would involve finding a list of commands available to the modem (or whatever you’re hacking). From there, you’d need to write a program in the language of commands that the hardware recognizes. The languages are usually completely propriatary, and for something simple like a modem, quite possibly rather primitive. If you’re talking about rewriting the command system from scratch, it’s more complex. For a Winmodem, it would be easiest. As I understand, that would be just changing the drivers within Windows. Drivers are often coded in something like C, so not too many problems there.
Hope this gives at least some ideas of how complex a thing you’re talking about.
Note: THere is a possibility that I am wrong on at least some of this. I am self- taught in what I know, altohugh with about 5 years of experience. Anyway, I am POSITIVE that it would just be easier to write a program to do what you want to do with already existing hardware and hardware programming.
One of my OS’s is actually Linux. So, if I need to repair Windoze or something, I can log onto root in there and follow the fix instructions that are everywhere on the net. Pain when it’s like a randomly named file or something…..That’s what virus scanners are for anyhow.
Hey….I almost never post anywhere. When I do, it’s usually to help someone. Or to make a useless comment like this: I like pork!
Has anybody thought that maybe if Halley doesn’t know what a reformat will do, that she (just assuming on gender….no offense meant) wouldn’t be sure how to reinstall Windows and get drivers working again?
No offense meant to anybody for anything I say. Just trying to remind some people that others have no idea what they’re doing and will try whatever the more knowledgeable people say.
