Dialer is a small MaxBase plugin that lets you choose
from a list of phone numbers and call one of them.

Notes -- this plugin uses COM ports, so it is heavily
platform dependant. It is defaulted to the following
settings:
.) It works on Windows 95 or OS/2. (Of course
   you must unzip the right package!)
   If you wish to make it work also under other o.s. 
   you'll have to edit the source code and recompile 
   it (using NetRexx: 
   http://www.hursley.ibm.com/netrexx).
.) Dialer will present to you only the fields which
   have the string "tel" in their name (case is not
   important). It won't let you dial a number stored
   in a field named "fax number", for example.

Installation:
put dial.class somewhere in your classpath, create a 
plugin.ini file with the following two lines:
-------
Call
java dial
-------
(omitting dashed lines) and put this plugin.ini file into
the directory that holds the DB with the people's phone
numbers. Replace the word "Call" with the word you like,
it isn't important for MaxBase.

Use:
Once you have installed the plugin correctly, you should
see a new button in the main panel, called (you guess it)
"Call". Select a person and click on "Call"; shortly 
thereafter a small window will appear, letting you dial
the wanted number.
